OP >wrong
>the link takes me to bartleby but what is the wayback machine?
you didn't notice the url, now did you? if you do take note of it you'll see that the bartleby address is preceded by that of the wayback machine [web.archive.org]. this is because the page you're seeing is actually an archive of the bartleby page captured by the w.m. back in March(?). the way I got it was by plugging the url from Jackie's page into the wayback machine (see olly's link), which gave me all kinds of archived results. I just clicked on the latest one, which is what you saw.
actually, it works much like Google (as to the archiving), but the w.m. saves multiple snapshots of each web page, allowing you to select to a specific timeframe. also, unlike Google, you get a clean look -- no ads or other extra stuff -- which makes it look just like the original!
