emirHello, Everyone,

Have you ever wanted to take a tour into the past? Your answer is probably yes. First off, there is a Web site that offers people the ability to see an archive of all Web sites that ever existed. Let me clarify: Almost all large-scale Web sites keep user interfaces and digital content in an archive which is hosted at the Internet Archive Data center. This site allows the public to see and visit these archives for personal use. Just one thing you should do is enter required data, such as the name of the site you wish to find, like www.geocities.com.

Recently many people, chiefly university students, need to prepare projects and use the Internet as an important resource. As all you know, just about all professional projects are prepared and saved as PDF files, which stands for "Portable Document Format" file. The PDF formatted file is growing more and more important in this highly technological era. Let me speak plainly: This Web site enables all kinds of people to edit PDF files, such as deleting a page from a project, adding a page from different PDF file, or converting a PDF file to be used in any kind of application like Word, Excel, in an easy and cost-free way.

Everyone has their own expectations for what a Web site should be able to offer them. One person's preferred content is overwhelmingly different from that of another's. One may like a site with content full of information about something like cars, while another may love following fashion trends on the Web. Some sites undoubtedly attract the attention of a variety of people and their diverse interests. This site is surely one of them. By using this particular site, you can send all kinds of files-from pictures, songs, and themes-to your cell phone. All you need to do is first upload the file you would like to send, then enter the phone number of the mobile device you want to send the file to. All of this is possible free of charge.

Hint: I am using this Web site to compress the size of my pictures and songs. For example, a picture takes up 2MB on your hard disk, but after the compression process, it decreases to nearly 250bytes.You can apply this to any kind of file on your computer.
