Hi Dave,

Thanks for:

Introducing me to the web archive.org "Wayback Machine".

Finding John's web pages on designing sundials. All his links worked for me
including the analemmatic/horizontal combination and the pdf translation.

Reminding me of those Saturday mornings long ago watching Rocky & Bullwinkle
travel through time on "Peabody's Wayback Machine".

Cheers

Quick, Mr. Peabody, to the WayBack Machine!!!

It doesn't always work, but there is a wonderful archive of internet
pages, available to all of us: http://archive.org

Go there, and enter any URL, and it will attempt to find old, archived
copies of the page. John's appeared in 12 versions, from August, 1999 to
Feb, 2003. I tried the latest one, and all the links appear to work fine.
