THE COOMBSWEB

* tmc * in patientia vestra habetis animam vestram * tmc *
Dear Reader,
The Coombsweb (including its all subsidiary (and/or sister) pages on "coombs.anu.edu.au" server) has permanently ceased its publishing operations on Tuesday 25th January 2011.
All of the online resources reported in these pages have been thoroughly checked at the time of their listing. However, it is possible that, with the passage of time, many of the originally reported materials might have been removed from the Internet, or changed their online address, or varied the scope and quality of their contents.
Fortunately, in several cases it is possible to access many of the older versions of the resources listed on this site. This can be easily done via the free services of the "The Internet Archive" http://web.archive.org/, a remarkable brainchild of Brewster Kahle, San Francisco, CA.
- with warm regards -
Editor-in-chief of the Coombsweb, Dr T. Matthew Ciolek.
Canberra, 25 January 2011.
