OMG!

*sniff* It was a great place and although I haven't really gone near it for about 6 years, it's still a significant chapter to close.

They would have to have a whole collection of some of the first content to greet the internet in the early days.

Seriously, I would love to see their server and copies of their early pages put into an internet museum or something and left there with a heap of terminals for people to surf it at 36kpbs and relive the experience of the internet from the mid 90's

Aww. I feel old when this stuff happens. It's almost like when they stopped selling VHS-tapes. ._.
