And still is.  Actually, it is possible to reach my site by googling
for it -- I only closed off the main entry-page.  Anyone who wants to
look at it can go here:

<http://web.archive.org/web/20010810164645/www.angelfire.com/tx/
eclectorium/degaspregos.html>

(I had no idea someone thought so highly of my work that they actually
web-archived it...)

Perhaps at some point I should convert all the pages into PDFs
and save them somewhere. Eh.
