  1. Hah! Several years ago, someone at work tried to find the website for a project we managed, but could not. I went to the Internet Archive, a.k.a. "the Wayback Machine", and found a version from several months before. From that I was able to figure out the hosting company, and learn that we had ceased to pay the bills, having forgotten about the site. Without the Internet Archive, I don't know what we'd have done.
