Hey you guys! Come on! Let's go!
Let's take a ride on the "Wayback Machine!"
Wonder what the front page of Sun.com looked like in 1997?
What about this blog? Let's go back to 2004 and see what MaryMaryQuiteContrary looked like then, shall we?

It's the history of the Internet, people.
And it's sitting on Sun's Santa Clara campus. It contained in the Sun Modular Datacenter -- and has the form factor of a standard shipping container.
This story is so hot. It's got a whole bunch of buzz going in the twitterverse.
very cool stuff.

Way cool! I read about Sun and the Internet Archive in today's Chron. Almost exactly ten years ago, I covered a tech gathering for Wired.com (http://www.wired.com/culture/lifestyle/news/1998/02/10301) that included Brewster Kahle, who founded the Internet Archive. Kahle brought a server and screen onstage at the Getty in L.A. that displayed rapidly flashing screens of the entire WWW. Even then, his stats showed half of the WWW disappearing each month -- and he was the only one archiving everything.
