Hey just for the record... I was the web developer for that company and they sent out multiple communications over four months letting everyone know to please download any of their content ahead of time as they were going out of business and I was given permission to take over the server.

Hi Michael, I'm likely sure you don't remember this, but I took your class "Counter-Realistic Trends in Post-Modern American Fiction" in 1992. One of my favorite classes in college.
