A blast from WC's past.
Saturday, June 7, 2003 by Xerraire | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I thought this was cute. If you want to see what Wincustomize looked like, in say, March 30th, 2001, all you have to do is type in WC's URL in their "Way Back Machine" and its archived 'looks' will appear. There are 5 archived pages saved from 2001 and 8 for 2002. Its interesting to see how this site has evovled, who was on the top list back then and which skins were being posted!

Its been around, yes!
Glad you got to take a look, Styl. Very cute link and of course it doesn't just archive WC, but ALL internet sites.

Hi kevin 
Rather fun to look at something archived in such a manner! Imagine a place actually keeping track of all that!

What fun to do a "look back"! It''s like looking at old photos. Thanks for the link, Xerraire. Saw a "Sad farewell to BoXXi" Good to know that wasn''t a permanent thing. Now I want to check out some of my old haunts, that are no longer, sigh

Nice link, even my little website is there. 
Just saw "DesktopX on W2K v.1.6" - Author: Nikos Bentis over there. Anybody knows what happened to him?

A blast from the past!

I couldnt get the link to work,
Try going to the wayback machine and looking at old screens of OD and WB, has it really changed that much?
