Carl Arendt site backup

An important influence on my layout thinking has been the site on micro/small layouts curated by Carl Arendt. It is rich with great ideas for fitting operations and beauty into small spaces. With his passing, I was concerned that his heirs might not be able to keep up his site (in the wave of things to deal with, ensuring that the web host gets a check might not be top priority). So I downloaded his site as a hedge against this, so that if it does disappear, someone can resuscitate his work using the backup. The backup is a compressed zip file of 113 MB at http://snipurl.com/carendtzip. It was made on a virus-free Mac, but like all internet files, scan it for viruses or other nasty bits before use (and let me know via comments if you find any). Hopefully, others will take over his work and keep his site alive.
