> A while back, when I was restoring my HP 9825B, I
found a great site
with lots
of beautiful pictures of HP classic computers in
various states of
disassembly. I
believe it was called "Computer Asylum" at
www.bohemiae.com. Now the site
seems to have disappeared. Did it get relocated, or hidden intentionally
by the
"warden" of the asylum, or is the site just
gone? It would be a shame if
so. Did
anybody happen to archive some of those images and
pages?

Thanks for any info,
Dave
I found remnants of the website (last crawled on July 8th) at
http://www.archive.org/web/web.php - not sure what happened to it, though,
there also did not seem to be any reference to computer asylum in the that are archived there.
It's related to the UK firm Bohemiae house owned by Jiri Picka
The site can be found at : http://www.computerasylum.co.uk/
The company site which also leads to the asylum :

Thanks Rik!? The site is a nice resource to have on the net.? If any of you have an
interest in the HP classic technical computers, there are some beautiful pictures of the
machines in various states of disassembly on this site.? Well worth following Rik's
link above.
The web has lots of wonderful resources, but in some ways, it's still pretty fragile.?
There's no guarantee that a useful resource today will be here tomorrow.
Best regards,
Dave

This is precisely why I have a very large, highly-redundant disk
array that's backed up to a very large tape juke. =)
Indexing, searching, and data management are tough though. A
long-term project of mine is to put together a nice document management
system that stores metadata and search tags. At first I was planning to
write my own, but then I found one that looks like it'll work well, but
getting everything in there is going to be a huge undertaking.

DSpace from MIT. It wasn't really designed for this sort of thing,
but I've been experimenting with it off-and-on for about a year for
indexing chip datasheets and app notes, and my initial results are very
positive.
A few years ago I was fortunate to get all the hardware that the
project was started on (a bunch of big HP machines), otherwise I'd
probably not have known of its existence.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
