Ever since Geocities went defunkt I've been concerned about losing access to some of my favorite websites like http://niehorster.orbat.com. There were some really good WWII websites on Geocities and now they are gone forever. I'd like to prevent this from happening to me in the future.

Thanks.

OMG. 5.25 floppies. I suddenly have flash backs of multiple disks installing Ultima 6 and Star Trek 25th Anniversary!

How about Ultima without a number on an Apple IIe? I still have the notching tool for those floppys.

How about Ultima without Ultima in the title? I remember Akalabeth on the IIe. Happy days.
