[QuadList] Demise of Vidipax--Wayback machine has some of it.

[Ted Langdell]

Hi, from California...

After reading Bill's post, I spent half an hour on the wayback  
machine checking various Vidipax.com pages to see what museum  
portions were available.

The text material seems to be there if it was HTML, but pop-ups of  
pictures don't work in the 2007 and 2008 iterations of the website.   
And some of the earlier versions—even in 2001—used .swf files for  
some of the main page content, including photos and text of the  
museum equipment, so I suspect that's not something we'll see again.

I thought someone had suggested capturing the site on the AMIA list,  
but don't find any references to that. I've asked if anyone did  
capture at least the museum section.

Re the auction itself... Bill wasn't the only one hassled during  
check-out, so I hear.

It's too bad someone from OldVTR's or the QuadList wasn't able to  
masquerade as a dumpster supplier and take care of the remainder that  
Bill says went into never-more land.
