If anyone wants to see a really old page, try this:

It's not quite as it was pre-BBC, but it's close. Just imagine it without the BBCi toolbar and disclaimer.

I think those particular ones were near to other ones I found in the early pages of the Guide. I tend to forget which ones came from where though as I never made a note. I started looking around more when I noticed some pictures on entries which weren't in the official Picture Gallery pages. The dev server has some outdated versions of pages too. Then I started to keep a list and got serious about finding the missing blobs...
So is that other person an h2g2 legend like DNA?

"So is that other person an h2g2 legend like DNA?"
It's Yoz - if not an h2g2 legend (although as one of the original programming team he definitely qualifies) then certainly an internet legend. Practically everyone who works in the internet in the UK either knows him or knows someone who knows him.

He seems to be a bit after my time really.
That picture is only one of a set and by no means the most embarrassing one...
