Well, more than just "web friends".

For others like me, who are newcomers to this group: http://web.archive.org/web/20190616094729/http://www.swtpc.com/mholley/index .html I hope he's just having a nice fishing holiday or ocean cruise or something. That's the trouble with circles of 'net friends.' Without fallback physical contact lines, people (and their personal websites) can just disappear without anyone being able to find out what happened. Hopefully not premature: Wills should include notes on where to make announcements. Mail lists, social media, etc. And where and how to offer personal collections. Never leave this up to relatives, who usually dgaf about technological relics and have highly random ideas about preservation worth.

Yes, GoDaddy renewed the registration so that they could sell it to someone else if it is not renewed. I more concerned about Mike. Has anyone heard from him? -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Lee [mailto:821 at 128.ca] Sent: Wednesday, November 06, 2019 5:44 PM To: William Sudbrink; General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts Subject: Re: swtpc.com expired???

Last IP address of the server (71.91.242.107) also directs to a "it works" page, so the entire directory may have been deleted. I also tried to access subpages (like /Sinclair/Interface2/Interface/Interface2_Circuitry.htm) and got a 404. Seems everything is gone. Hope the archive.org backup is updated :( ---8<---Corte aqui---8<--- http://www.tabajara-labs.blogspot.com http://www.tabalabs.com.br ---8<---Corte aqui---8<--- Em qui, 7 de nov de 2019 ?s 09:21, Bill Degnan via cctalk < cctalk at classiccmp.org> escreveu:

That's one of my IP's. I'm quite doubtful that the content is gone, only that the domain registrant perhaps let it expire? It's safe, please don't rape my bandwidth ?

I'm taking the liberty of mirroring it just in case. It appears to be on the end of a bit of wet string, so it's entirely plausible that it is being moved to a better hosting provider.

Assuming Michael is simply moving his site to a new host and he is not done with the move. It's a pain to move a website sometimes. If the site was down or the hosting was unpaid there would be a different kind of error message. Swtpc.com was one of the first "vintage computer" themed domains from the 90's that I can think of along with Ita Goldklang's TRS 80 site and a few others. Bill
