Think some of my bookmarks date back to mosaic. About once a year I sweep them and purge a good amount of them as I have hundreds nicely organized into categories. They 'rot' so not worth keeping. Sometimes I will point them at archive but usually I can not even remember why I bookmarked them in the first place.

I was just away from the Internet for 8 years. When I checked my bookmarks 99% of them were dead links. I wonder how many from Mosaic days would still be valid?

Serious question: were you in prison? If not, how/why did you take an 8 year break?

[kingcharles]

Close enough! County jail waiting for a trial.

Yikes, eight years waiting for a trial? Whatever happened to the 6th amendment?

There were people with me who are about to pass into their 12th year.

saw this charge in there:

> POSSESS BURGLARY TOOLS

You can go to jail for that? I've had to break into my own home several times since living here because I've accidentally locked myself out.

Maybe they had a friend named Wilson on a long vacation on an island? Maybe they were the star in a day time soap where they were in a coma for 8 years.

not many. Also many times even if the site is still around the content may not have been updated in years.
