Same here. Wayback Machine and Wikipedia were some of noblest ideas/project in respect to the world wide web & humanity.
As in.. They care both about past and future generations.
That's why I also hope that backwards compatibility in modern web browsers stays to last a little longer.
Think of old HTML 1.x, XML and VRML, along with plug-ins like QuickTime, Real Player, Flash/Shockwave and languages like JScript, VBScript and such.
That's why "Quirks mode" and support for pre-Unicode still makes sense to keep around.
Also, that's one of the reasons I keep a copy of IE 5.5 on a Win 98SE virtual machine on my current PC.
And old Mac OSes like System 7-9 / OS X 10.1 - 10.4. Web designers of the past centuries just loved these system. 😉
Last but, not least, there also was another type of internet..
The early "mobile web" based on WAP and i-mode (has Wayback saved these sites, too ?).
Ports of their special browsers for PC work quite well on Win98, too.
