    Only found out about it the other day. Put in the URL you want and you can choose from a list of dates to view that site as it was at an earlier date. It works surprisingly well.

    Particularly useful for looking up info on older hifi gear that is no longer mentioned on the manufacturers site.

    Only goes back to 1999 though by the looks of it. I don't even want to imagine how much disk space they're using :eek:
