Any neat easy painless mechanisms for keeping ~3500 (20 year's worth,

Well the chances of anything 20 years old still being a valid
bookmark are pretty remote... I think you need an automated method of
going through them for 404's. B-)


That thought has crossed my mind, but actually some of
them are still valid and useful.

It used to be that if something was old and well-regarded
(i.e. many links to it) then a google search would turn it up.
Unfortunately google is now giving added weight to the new
(i.e unproven quality, transient), so re-locating something
good that's been around for a while is becoming more
problematical.

If only google would allow you to search for something
that is /older/ than 1 year, rather than merely less
than one year/month/week/day old.
