one of my favorite's is microsoft.com: <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/misc/features/features_flshbk.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/misc/features/features_flshbk.htm</a><p>The web server sat under an employee's desk until 1994, when it was moved to a server room. It's a reminder that Microsoft almost totally missed out on the importance of the Internet and actually could've lost the browser wars to Netscape. Netscape foolishly sold out to AOL in 1998 and that was pretty much the end of it. But thems were the days.

I think the archived versions may be missing some CSS files. Twitter's font doesn't look right compared to its own screenshot.
