Well that's a shame. I live not too far away from ANL, and know an amazing physicist and her husband (a developer) who work there. I wonder if they could give any insight? Probably not, but I'll see.

I contracted there a long while back to work on Cold Fusion for their environmental monitoring group. Yeah, the programming language (when it was owned by Allaire) - it's just fun to say "I worked on cold fusion at Argonne National Labs)

There's a beautiful nature preserve on site - Waterfall Glen, which my kids love to explore. If anyone lives in the area, it's worth checking out. Great running and biking paths there too.

Something perhaps the Archive team could look at?

It seems to be well-covered by the Internet Archive already. https://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/ Edit: I see it has been added to the ArchiveBot also. http://archivebot.com/ Edit2: I just grabbed it myself as well, it's less than 500MB for the whole site. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/dtkyhb8ep8dvhaf/AABGKmFDKhIXo88mU...

I grabbed it last night and tossed it in the Archive to be kicked into the Wayback Machine :)
