The Internet Archive Wayback Machine, <http://www.archive.org/>,
has been trawling the web since 1996, collecting copies of
websites that do not specifically exclude link-crawling robots. Their
100+ terabytes of holdings include, for example, multiple copies of
www.rickbarry.com since Oct. 1999 and www.llgc.org.uk since
Dec. 1996 (not a pretty site).
