You can rebuild the site for as much as you have images in the cache -
simply drag the cached pictures to a folder and archive the HTML code
using "View - Page Source (Firefox)" or "File - Save Page As (FireFox)",
name the images folder to what the original HTML code was looking for
"Images" or "img" and see if you can open the page from the hard drive
using a second browser.

I can host this on Flippers if Francis agrees, and doesn't have his own
backup. Flippers has been up continuously since 1996....Or Vectorlist
can do this...we need to archive/mirror more of these sites.
