Does anyone know what has happened to the "Old Woodworking Machines" web site

I'm trying to look up some parts for an old bandsaw and keep getting a "The page cannot be displayed" message.



Is it still active?



Thanks.

The owner of the server is on vacation, and it appears that the start page got hosed...

Tried the url with both IE 5 and Netscape 3.0 and got

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Unspecified error

/fpdb/DBCN.inc, line 8

Another winner for MicroSoft!

You do know that IE5 has been put on "End of life" for support, right? Meaning, no bug fixes, no security patches, nothing. Netscape 3 is also very old, and at a minimum you'll be unable to connect to any https:// website that is using modern acceptably high encryption.

Well...as much as I dislike Microsoft (which is a LOT), criticizing them that a browser they're saying "It's too old, don't use it anymore" doesn't work properly is a bit unfair. One could argue that it was crap when it was brand new as well.
