Saving The UNIX HUMOR Legacy? 36
belbo asks: "To my utter
dismay I've discovered that the great UNIX HUMOR archive has vanished
from its rather obscure home at Geocities. UNIX HUMOR has been quite a
vast archive of UNIX related humor from various decades (e.g. some
-long- threads from a.r.s) It's not only been funny but has also been
a great introduction into the UNIX way of thinking, laughing and
solving problems. So, after much unsuccessful searching via Google
and its cache, I want to ask the Slashdot community: does anyone run
a mirror of this archive? Or has a tarball of it? I would love to host
it on my server." Has this resource been moved to a new official
site? If not, looks like you have one offer for a new home.

He said there was much of asr in it.
Now I wanted to know about dasr.
Understood? I didn't reply to the question,
ok, but I asked an on-topic question myself.
Duh.

Seriously, the wayback machine(when it functions properly) is great for things like this. The link to its latest edition is here [archive.org]
Enjoy your mirroring experience.

Web Archive Consortium meets Unix Humor archive (Score:1)
I realise this has been mentioned in this thread, but here is a little more information.
A quick search there revealed the archive for the Unix Humor Archive [archive.org], and also the URL to the last archived (working) URL of the humor archive [archive.org].
Hopefully this is what you all were after :)
