Old Technology and Methods:  Files from the W7ZOI page.

Earlier times on the Internet produced web pages that were much smaller.   The Internet providers had much less memory for each customer.   Our computers were much slower, requiring much more time to download even modest sized files.    My personal approach was to periodically eliminate some articles that I had posted in order to make room for new ones.  But times have changed.   My personal conservative approach is no longer necessary, so I'm bringing back some of the earlier pieces.  Some may still be of interest or serve to illustrate a concept.
