Link: Finding the Dreaded File Not Found Message - website gone!!
« on: Monday 21 May 07 09:56 BST (UK) »
Don't you just hate it when you do a Google search, seemingly find a link to a highly relevant page, then get the dreaded 404 File Not Found? It usually means the site has been moved or superseded, but I have found a way to view the page.

First copy the URL of the page you want to view, leaving off the http:// at the beginning.

Go to http://www.archive.org/index.php

Paste in the URL where it says Way Back Machine ( the http:// is already there) and click Take me Back

Bingo!
