Hi Vic,

I think the news on that front is bad, I'm afraid. Any site: or archive: or cache: from BT1 has been overwritten by new posts (post crash) or passed into the great 404 Not Found in the sky. I searched myself when you mentioned this ages ago and had no luck then, the chances are far less now. The Wayback Machine will bring up old Braintalk archives but only of the main Index page. Clicking them won't work, they're basically webshots with no information or links behind them.

I'm sorry to say that I clear out my hard drive regularly (visual art uses huge amounts of space) and on my backup disks I've found nothing so far. Can't believe none of us have copies of your articles!

I'll keep looking on my disks, but don't hold your breath. So....that's why we have been bitching about the fact that BT1 won't restore the archives. They say they are intact, but...there was just *so* much amazing info there, on all forums.

Maybe someone will see this and search their own hard drives. Hope so...

all the best
