Hello Stephen;

Although my present 'German-only' webpage needs upgrading,
(I seem to have a problem with my service provider) I found a
way to access my older webpages (actually all old webpages if you
still remember the right URL.

Click on this website, really amazing http://www.archive.org/
when you get that page, scroll down just a wee bit until you see the
expression "Wayback Machine" and here you enter the old URL
you want to see, like my old one
http://home.cogeco.ca/~hessian

and here you go, try the newest one of 2003. It will take a little while
until it loads up. But I recommend the 'Links' button, lots of leads,
well, some pictures may not show, but overall I am still proud of my
old list. One change keep in mind - my books are now $35. each.

Hope this helps,
Cheers,
John Merz
