    I think this may one day prove to be one of the most important archives ever.

    From the page: "Hyperbole is easy to generate: over 10 billion pages are held here. The content of a single computer is equivalent to the entire Library of Congress. Over 250 gigabytes of data are added daily. Over 12 terabytes are added every month and there are a total of over 120 terabytes of storage available. As a copy of the entire publicly accessible internet, it is also certainly the worlds largest collection of pornography in a single room."

    It's always interesting to see the internet fro the computers that keep it online. (I know of course this is just an archive, but the idea is the same... I wonder if they still have my old geocities page!?

    From the page: "Tucked away in one of the seediest neighborhoods of San Francisco is a roomful of over two hundred computers with a terabyte of data stored on every three. Stairs from the street lead up an intimidating hallway that opens into a room with 15-foot ceilings and just-this-side of hip ductwork in the ceiling. To the right is a storage area with a single desk, to the left are Baker's racks tightly packed with off-the-shelf HP desktop machines, each turned on it's side to maximize the space. Somewhere in all that ductwork, a fan is squeaking painfully. Walking into this echoey, over-warm warehouse space, it's easy to be underwhelmed until you realize what you are looking at: spinning away on these computers is nothing less than a copy of the Internet from 1996 until today."
