I followed the link, and, wow.  ConneXions is not available there.  It
is available VIA a link from there to a cryptic URL at Google Drive.

So a university has scanned in some key Internet history, and is now
storing it for public access only via Google Drive?  Not only is it a
painful interface (not having a Google account, nor enabling Google
javascript nor any Google cookies, I have still been unable to download
nor read any of the issues).  But more important, someday it will just go
poof, at the discretion of a company that cares only about monetizing
your eyeballs, and all that history will be lost.
