    If you go to the “Wayback Machine” located at the Internet archive, you can go back to any site at various places in time. This link should take you to what the home page was looking like on January 12, 1997.

    Happy Birthday and many more!

    Happy Birthday Mandolincafe. One of the very first websites I discovered when we got our first computer, back in the dark ages, I mean, in the mid-1990s. Glad it's still going strong. Thank you Scott and gang!

    Thought about bringing it back but I could never get away with the kind of content I used to post back then.
