at 55mb you can have inernet explorer make it available off line so that it resides on your computer even after the site is gone.

double post, sorry.[This message was edited by Peter on 18 April 2003 at 05:08 PM.]

The site has gone.

However, if you search for "rebel steel" with Google, you will see the link to the site. Do not go to the site, just choose "cache" and a cached version will be available. Worked for me. Good luck.

Hey Graham,
I'd gladly do more tabbing for you if necessary.

Graham, I have used this resorce countless times and really appreciate it . Thank you for all you've done for us. No matter what you do with it ,we owe you a lot . If we can help in any way let us know. God bless you and yours.

Graham,
Just another thankyou for the site.

I can't count the number of times I have used it to further my limited but enthusiastic knowledge.

I hope you can see some way clear to at least leaving it online, even if it is not to be upgraded.

Too much of a resource to lose.

Still available in "Google Heaven" (see Peter's post above) as of 4am PDT. Thanks tremendously, Peter! I have my copy! And of course, many many thanks to Graham, Ricky and Jeff for spending the time and effort to put it together![This message was edited by David Nichols on 19 April 2003 at 04:19 AM.]

Peter - the cached front web page is accessable through Google, but have you tried opening up any of the linked pages?

Ken

Posted: **19 Apr 2003 5:48 am**

I have my copy!

David, how do you do that?

I have a cable modem connection so it wouldn't take long to download it, but none of the links on the page work.

One method is to download a program such as :
Web Stripper. (free download for non commercial use) http://webstripper.net/download.html

Then try the Google search (as stated above) and select the cached URL:

Paste the URL like this one into the program: http://www.google.ca/search?q=cache:-LnLjcXfp-8C:users.interlinks.net/rebel/steel/steel.html+Steel+Guitar+Rebel&hl=en&ie=UTF-8

Select download all files from the options.

You can then burn it to a CD /DVD etc...

Bob and Peter - thanks for the info.

This site is well worth archiving.

Posted: **19 Apr 2003 7:56 am**

Bob -

I tried WebStripper and got a DNS error: 'could not find site'. As far as I know, I entered the right URL into a 'new site' and went through the wizard all the way to the 'Strip Now' command. It created a download directory on the hard drive, but no data.

Any ideas?
Thanks.

What a shame to be losing this site, especially so quicky...

Posted: **19 Apr 2003 8:45 am**

I tried this too-same result-got no files attached to the links.

Yep, the links seem to be gone now. What a difference 6 hours makes! I'm glad I decided to forego sleeping and stay up to copy it.

Posted: **19 Apr 2003 12:28 pm**

Yep. the cached site is broken now!
Can't leave you guys alone!

A cached file is only temporary. The site is now dead.

I have it all on CD (if it all works)

I will try to find a way to make it available for download when I have time to check things out. Give me a few days.

This site will be sorely missed. It is a real service to steelers. I thank you for being there, up to this point. Buck

rebel,
you know i would help with the tab request, and anything else that it would take as far as that goes. ive not posted any tab because ive not had a guitar, but my new one will be here this week. Joe

Posted: **19 Apr 2003 3:11 pm**

I'm surprised (and disappointed) at how fast this went away. This has been a valued resource for a lot of folks. A ton of work went into all of this - both in terms of tabbing, etc., and also I'm sure in terms of managing the site. I appreciate everyone's work on this, but it sure is too bad that no way was found to keep the site running under someone else's guidance, or to at least archive the data for continued use by interested folks.

Would like some feedback on how this page works. Have transposed all the music clips to mp3 format. Will be a major undertaking to change all the pages over if it works.

Bob:
Would really appreciate it if you not put the site online. That is my right to do, if and when. Thank you.

Speaking of if and when, I hope some of you fellas who are good at tabbing will jump in and give us a hand with some of it. Ricky and Jeff can't handle it all and everything else they have to do.

Joe and Fred:
Appreciate all the submissions you have made to date. Thank you.

I check the files that were downloaded from the cache. The tab is ok but none of the audio files work. They are only part of the streamed audio required. While Graham is working things out you can get the tab here in a zipped file:

*** Don't forget to update your antivirus data files first and check the file you download before you open it. (just a good practice)

Hi Graham, sorry to hear you're shutting down the website, it was certainly one of a kind and a valuable resourc4e for all steel players, duffers and professionals alike. I do understand that it taikes a lot of time and effort to keep up a site like that. I was glad I got a chance to meet you in person last year, and I know the next time I see you, you'll be making that Fulawka talk.
All the best, take care.
Keith
