Wayback MachineHave you ever wanted to see the page for the original OS X? What about the iPod? Well, now you can with the Wayback Machine. The Wayback Machine, which is run by Internet Archive, a site dedicated to making a digital library of all the pages and media on the Web, allows you to visit archived pages that have long since vanished. Simply put in the URL of the site you want to see an archive of, click “Take Me Back,” and you will see a list of dates that the site you requested has been archived on. For example, I can see archives of the the Apple.com homepage that go as far back as October 1996! And I can even click on links on the archived pages and go to their archived pages! Awesome! The Wayback Machine is a great research tool, but you can also have a lot of fun. Now you can finally relive the glory days of System 7.
