MARY STU'S TAVERN MEMORIES
FIRST SEVEN ACTIVE YEARS OF CONSTANT UPDATES: MARCH 1998
UNTIL MAY 2005
THE SITE'S LIFE AT GEOCITIES
With the return of regular updates to Mary Stu's Tavern in April
2009, and the discovery of the news that the site's original and only
home, Geocities, was soon to cease operations, I decided to gather
all of the material I had saved on two previous laptop computers, one
a Compaq Presario using Windows 95 and the other a Toshiba Satellite
using Windows 98, and gather some of the old stuff to create this
satellite site to the Tavern. The purpose is to give veteran
visitors to the Tavern some memories of their past tours through the
site, and those sites to which the Tavern was once linked. The
museum will also provide new visitors, and also new fans of Mary
Stuart Masterson, some idea of what Web sites about the actress and
her movies were out there in 1998 and earlier. Some people visiting
today were not old enough to be on the Internet in 1998-2005, and
might not have even been born when the site first went up. With the
exhibits in these pages, they can find out what the sites were like
then, what kind of technology was available to create and maintain
them, and some of the thoughts of visitors recorded in the Guestbook.
Also, there will be some exhibits of news events in those years,
popular movies and TV series, old special event pages from the
Tavern, a tribute to Claudia Kehl of Switzerland, the Tavern's
greatest newshound and Webmistress of her own MSM site, and a salute
to Geocities for making all the memories possible. Right now there
are only two main pages of exhibits to start, but lots of subpages.
There could be more in the future, explaining the hardware and
software used to generate the site, and other information.
Your tour will be both entertaining and, I hope, interesting. We
try to make pages fast loading, so it won't take up too much of your
time.
Webmaster,

of the FYI page, the Tavern's news page, or BLOG, but in 1998 the
term hadn't been coined!
