A good friend of mine approached me the other day, asking me for an email address to submit his essay for the Cornell Essay contest. Now, the email address was on the Cornell Club’s website, but unfortunately, it was down! SO, what to do when you need to view a website, and it’s not working? Simple! Your best friend and mine, Google, offers the capability to view “cached” pages. It’s basically a snapshot of a webpage from the past. There are two ways to access it. One, by clicking on the “Cached” link next to a search result on Google, OR by typing “cache:” and the URL of the page you’re trying to access (without any spaces).
