This is\u00a0an old, locally-hosted start page that led off to all the various sites and stuff that I was working on at the time. There&#8217;s a larger story to suss out here (how many of the links are still active, for example) that might be of interest to some. For the time being, this hard drive joins another one in the &#8220;not quite yet ready for recycling&#8221; heap. \u00a0Creation date on the page is set as March 21, 2000, last modified February 22, 2003.<\/p>\n<p>The animated GIF is of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.johnnyclegg.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Johnny Clegg<\/a> (of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Juluka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juluka<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Savuka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Savuka<\/a> fame) &#8212; still a fav in my music library. \u00a0The creation date on the GIF (its not mine) is December 3, 1998.<\/p>\n<p>And HEY!
