In case you didn't know:
Ever find an interesting link here or elsewhere, only to find when you click on it that the page/site no longer exists? Don't give up hope, there are a number of ways to view web pages that have gone missing:
1. Google cache
Google stores cache copies of many web pages, You can access these pages by prefacing the link with
The Wayback Machine store multiple snapshots of web pages from 1996 to a few month ago.
A quick and easy way to use these capabilities is to install the CacheIt! extension for the Firefox web browser (there may be similar extensions for other browsers, but I have not researched this).
There are other options available, but I have found the two above most useful.
