Info-Mac Archive Mirror Sites

(formerly known as Sumex-aim archives for Stanford University's Me [x]dical School - Archive Info-Mac)

Links last checked May 17, 2003
(This file was last changed Sep 4, 2005 )
In case you were wondering, the filename for this site was created in April of 1996, I shortened info-mac to imac, and that's how I came about the name. Coincidentally, Apple named their popular consumer machines 2 years later the iMac. If you were looking for information on Apple's iMac computers, select its link.

Umich archives was shut down on January 16, 2001. Any mirrors you find of its archives through these sites are of old files only and have not been updated since then.


Skip the preliminaries and go straight to the list of countries that have mirrors. Link to Posting Guidelines for submission to the newsgroup associated with this archive as well as the archive.
Return to home page index, or the Macintosh Related Sites page.


Note: This is a preliminary update through macmaps.com. Only those sites that successfully loaded from my web server remain as of the date above. nfs, fsp sites were left alone, as I don't have an application that can load these. If you are aware of other sites, please sign my guestbook . Also the text of some links may not have the actual address in them, as my URL verifier does not update the link text, it only updates the link hypertext reference.
