hi,

This reminds me that Wolfram did a backup copies of press artiles
and stored them somethere in case if owner's site was down
or article gone. But this is almost two years old memories. And
I not sure did he told about idea or he actually did it.

Wolfram, any comments ?

Anyway, it could be good to resurrect or implement this idea into
life now. (IMHO)
