“Wow! Unbelievable collection of resources!”

Found their tool to find defunct (no longer existing) websites. Use to use one and wondered what happened. Still gone, but was able to see screenshots of the old site. ALSO, WOW WOW WOW! Old magazines, books, movies, and SOFTWARE all legal! Such an incredible resource.

“Left-wing censors”

I was recently looking for an older article by Dr. Mercola (who is outspokenly against the Covid-19 "vaccine"), and guess what message I got: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine." So, if you run a popular Web site but are not gung-ho about vaccines and masks, then the Wayback Machine will BAN you. Pathetic. Just ban the Wayback Machine from your life instead.

This is a really good site as it also provides its content for free, especially the Wayback machine and the free books, I don't see where the complaints are coming from

I'm one of the many bookworms who can't survive without a book fix, and there's no better place for one than Internet archive. This site is unbelievable! It works like a library; you sign up, and then can borrow one of the many books thy have available, from libraries and collections all over the world. These include both contemporary books and ones published in past centuries, fiction bios, history, even magazines, comic books, catalogs, name it, it's there!

You can search by title, author, subject, collection, sometimes by publisher and year as well, and you'll find books you read years ago that you lost touch with (like I did, many times) and can be happily reacquainted with again. You can borrow them hourly (no problem, as you can keep reborrowing when your time expires) and some are available for two weeks, with no expiration. The books are all photocopied, very clear to read, and most have their covers pictured, too. That's how I recognized some old friends!

You also save a fortune on what you would have paid if you had to go out and buy these books. The site is free, though they accept donations, it's not necessary.

As a bonus, many TV shows and movies are also available, as well as commercials, documentaries, podcasts, you name it!

Don't pass this gem up, check it out, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed!
