After 5 years the page is no more. Yahoo-GeoCities decided that it
violates their TOS. Surprisingly enough, it never did before but with
new owners (Yahoo) they now seem to think it does. The concept of a
mirror site seems to escape their mental capabilities. In addition, they
also appear to be directionally challenged in that they can't seem to
figure out directions, that is, does site A access site B or vice versa
or neither.

Here is the section of the TOS they said I violated:
""Remote loading is the act of pulling files from your GeoCities account
from a location other than your GeoCities site --  for example: setting
up a home page with another service and then loading files to that site
from your GeoCities account."

No files have every been "pulled" from GeoCities by my home domain.
However, GeoCities "pulls" files from Expita.com (an ftp directory
only). It used to "pull" files from Netcom.com (until they were
assimilated by Mindspring.com). All links are relative to the site where
the pages are located. Only exception is the mailto address and the ftp
directory.

Anyway, everything I had at GeoCities can be found at
http://www.expita.com/
