The Internet Archive is very cool. Always finding new and interesting things in there. I was helping some DeadHead friends with their PC tonight, spyware killed it, and they told me about being able to download Grateful Dead concerts. After a bit of research, I found that the internet archive his hosting concert recordings. Awesome!
