โ€œThe Internet Archive is essential at ensuring that we have an understanding of what was happening on the internet at a given point in time. That is not something that is constantly useful, but it is something that is occasionally extremely useful.โ€

@internetarchive Yesterday I mailed a donation to the Internet Archives.

I encourage others to do the same.

BTW - Those making donations may be able reduce taxes. Our checks were drawn as qualified distributions, i.e. non taxable, from IRA/SEP accounts. The IRS has rules about how to do that, so check those rules out before you try it.
