A blast from WC's past.

from WinCustomize Forums
I thought this was cute. If you want to see what Wincustomize looked like, in say, March 30th, 2001, all you have to do is type in WC's URL in their "Way Back Machine" and its archived 'looks' will appear. There are 5 archived pages saved from 2001 and 8 for 2002. Its interesting to see how this site has evovled, who was on the top list back then and which skins were being posted!

Hi kevin
Rather fun to look at something archived in such a manner! Imagine a place actually keeping track of all that!

What fun to do a "look back"! It''s like looking at old photos. Thanks for the link, Xerraire. Saw a "Sad farewell to BoXXi" Good to know that wasn''t a permanent thing. Now I want to check out some of my old haunts, that are no longer, sigh

Glad you enjoyed the link so much.

Nice link, even my little website is there.



Just saw "DesktopX on W2K v.1.6" - Author: Nikos Bentis over there. Anybody knows what happened to him?

I couldnt get the link to work,

Try going to the wayback machine and looking at old screens of OD and WB, has it really changed that much?
