History (File One)

Please Note: These URLs used to be given in full as hyperlinks. However, due to "the linkrot problem", which is now an international annoyance in cyberspace, many links will now be rendered as text only. No apologies for this... it is simply too much pointless work trying to keep dead links out of a large links collection. Any hyperlinks seen below are simply the survivors of the linkrot problem to date. If any are discovered to be dead or otherwise useless, they will be labelled "error 404, not found".
