Do you guys ever use the Internet Archive for anything? I agree that they’re doing a great job archiving things, but realistically, through time most of things which happened have been forgotten.
I use the Wikipedia like once a week to look something up, but I only ever used the Internet Archive to look at a early version of my own website. But never for anything else. But perhaps I’m missing out on something?
I use it quite often. I can still download some books from The Trove (RIP), it also has all sorts of abandonware and console rom collections. It also has a decent collection of gaming magazines and CDs that would come bundled with them. There’s also an incredible variety of books in there, and older programming books always catch my attention.
I’ve also watched the 1930 All Quiet on the Western Front film there. It’s the kind of thing that pirate sites and streaming services don’t bother with, because there’s no demand.
