Anyone know why?
Ostensibly because HP doesn't want to you see old copies of DEC's
site. From the FAQ:
"Sometimes a web site owner will contact us directly and ask us to
stop crawling or archiving a site, and we endevor to comply with
these requests. When you come accross a "blocked site error"
message, that means that a siteowner has made such a request and it
has been honored."
I'd ask HP public relations about the reason for it. (Spelling
errors notwithstanding)
