Spectacular. The WayBackMachine has always been an incredible resource. The Beta version is a vast improvement to something that was already great. Kudos!

I preferred the old Wayback Machine. Calendar is not cool, it wastes a lot of space with nothing on it except for maybe one date that is hardly even highlighted. I prefer the old Wayback Machine because it did acquire the old pages and if it was parked you could search and find the archived website in the dates before it was parked, and/or before it changed hands. It truly archived the internet. This new version only gives a snapshot not an archive.

Is there anyway to bring the Wayback Machine back to it’s original higher standard?

That said thank you for trying

I vastly prefer the classic version’s display of available pages.

Like the new speed. the old site was far to slow to make it much use.

Of course the Internet Archive should be the default home page for many individual browser page… This to say how much th IA is important for worldwide culture today. So my question has to be embedded into such a context.
Would it be possibl to serach in the archive like we search with Google and not only using a known URI ? That would be the most important improvement up to me.
Thank you again for “being there”

I agree with ND.Despite the faster performance,it would be better to have an option to choose between a calendar and the single page for archive of captured collections
