great Trek long lost

Websites come. Websites go. Sometimes wonderful stuff disappears. But occasionally I get smart and save something I like before that happens. I know from seeing pictures here others have, too. What do you have on your hard drive that you saved from extinction?

Here's one I have. It's Matt Jefferies' model for the TOS soundstage. He made it as a 3D sketch for the new sets that needed to be built. Once the series was sold, directors and production people often used it to block out the next week's shoot. It ended up in private hands. There was an article which described it on www.trek5.com, long off the 'net. These were the accompaning pictures. Besides the picture shown below, here is a 2800x2100 pixel version in the original resolution. It will allow you to really zoom in on the model.

On it you can see the two main sets that filled the soundstage at Desilu, the ship set and the bridge set. The small gold-floored set shown center back on the model was representative of a swing set that could be built for a specific episode.

So what do you have that you saved from a long lost website?
