Feb 2005 was the first release of Sage as "sage".

The very first sagenb launch was in 2006, so indeed nearly 10 years ago.

an alternative is to install Sage locally, then you would be able to run 
more or less the
same sagenb interface, without converting .sws files.

sage-4.8.ova is a virtual machine image for VirtualBox 
(https://www.virtualbox.org/)
(although this .ova file might be too old to run on an up to date version 
of VirtualBox)
More precisely, it is Sage installed into a more or less minimal build of a 
Linux system,
packaged for running on VirtualBox rather than on real hardware.

You can also get an .ova file for a more recent Sage version, 
see http://files.sagemath.org/win/
Installing this setup would allow you to run Sage anywhere you can install 
VirtualBox.

(If you have a Linux or an OSX machine, this is not needed, you can compile 
from source
or get a "native" binary installation).

HTH,
Dima

Go to https://cloud.sagemath.com/ and make yourself a free account.
You can upload .sws files, but yours are very old so may not convert
cleanly.  SageMathCloud has its own mailing list.

People may have been put off by the date 2005 since I think Sage was
only created around then.  Version 4.8 is certainly old (7.5 has just
been released)!

2017-01-13 Thread Charles Pique
The online site where I worked with SAGE (sagenb.org) was taken down 
because of spammers according to 
https://ask.sagemath.org/question/36274/what-happened-to-my-user-name-10-years-ago/.
 
  I had noticed some restrictions and comments about it back then.  I went 
my way for some years and now a number of my bookmarks get an error.  I 
erased them yesterday but they all contain "sagenb.org".  I have seen 
websites disappear before so I copied all my files to my hard drive.  They 
had the extension .sws.  I also got a large file with the name SAGE-4.8.ova 
which might be a software package. I still have my old user name and 
password but nowhere to try them.  I think I have a new password with same 
old name at https://ask.sagemath.org/account/signin/?next=/  but that gets 
a blog.  I don't know how to get the interactive web page that does all the 
nice things that I used to play with. I never could find instructions for 
basic things.   I never heard of the Sage store before. 
Today I have a need to solve cubic equations as part of a root locus plot 
in electronic circuit analysis.

To begin with, are you talking about sage as in http://www.sagemath.org/ ?
Then, what site are you referring to? sagenb.org ? 
(I suspect you might be talking about Sage as in https://shop.sage.co.uk/ - 
and we have nothing to do with this, and never ever had)
