file... and promptly nuked all the old pre-cybersquat stuff as well.
Another reason why I want the jackasses who do that sort of stuff to be
removed from the genepool in the most painful and thorough way possible.
I share the sentiment but why the hell did archive.org nuke the previous
web pages? That makes *no* sense. You might want to contact them and
bring it to their attention. It might've been a glitch. If it's an
actual practice then it needs to be adjusted.
I would like to know what triggers the
"WAIT" LED on the keyboard and what
"U.K." is supposed to signify in the VT52 and VT100 entries.
It probably just replaces the $ character with the UKP sign, among other
minor adjustments (i.e. UK ASCII).
