I love Andy's early history of the Mac at Folklore.org. It's a great read.

A few years back, with Andy's blessing, I extracted all the posts and converted them to Markdown, to address a few issue I found with Folklore.org:

* Does not have a mobile friendly layout

* Missing images

* Low res-thumbnails used in articles, requiring links out to high resolution ones. Missing copyright/license information about the images

* Broken links

* Accessibility issues (images without ALT text, etc)

* Formatting issues

* No Metadata

* Table-based layouts with complex and obtuse HTML markup.

I find this an easier reading experience.
