I wonder if the person will still contact David T., knowing what a live prospect he has on his hands?

Hey Frank, what's going on with your Ricci Tool web site? If I go to
http://www.riccitool.com and click the line that says "Enter here" I'm taken to a temporary holding page on Verio. I sent you an email back at the end of 2006 about it but didn't hear back.

The site is history I lost it and I can't find it. Someone changed a server and it is gone. Kiss $10,000 good bye. The developer did not have a copy.

My site was built over 10 years ago. I should get something up there but the tooling is not my focus any more, the engravable Items I sell are almost my entire business!
Most of the tool and die work for lapel pins, brass awards, badges, and jewelry have all gone overseas. No sence trying to compete with overseas merchants, there raw material Brass, Copper, Nickel,ect is cheaper than here.
At one time I was manufacturing 300,000 pins for HOG which is now in China. When I talked to the customer they told me I could give them the item for FREE and I would still be too expensive, the packaging and finishing is what killed the project!

Was the site hosted by an ISP? Have you asked them if they have backups?

Frank, what would you say if I told you that I could travel back in time and make a copy of your old site for you?
Well, it's almost true. Here, take a look at this:

There is an html program and I forget which, that will let you import the entire site by downloading everything including the linked pages and graphics.
I am tempted to say it is Frontpage, but not sure. :-$

There are a few different programs capable of that. Some web editors have it built in. But there are others, such as "Web Miner" that are designed specifically for capturing an entire web site.
Yup, the "archive the web" project is an amazing resource. If you forget the name simply Google for the "Wayback Machine". (People my age might remember the name from the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoon show)

Actually, the first time I searched there I used "riccitool.com" and the archived site was from 2005, but looking again with "fredriccitool.com" I see there is an even newer copy of the site.
Go here and click on the April 2006 version:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.fredriccitool.com
You can always look at the different dates to see how the site changed over time.
