Surf through the ARCHIVE.ORG
I was joking about there being a search option available on archive.org.
Does anybody here know of one or a trick dissimilar to how I hunt it?

Thanks. Although, I can only find snapshots of the homepage on there. As I mentioned I'm looking for the page extension text regarding how the Bitcoin economy might develop, which gave a very specific example of a Bitcoin using, Pizza eating, hair dresser...

What is Bitcoin’s value backed by?
Bitcoin is valued for the things it can be exchanged to, just like all the traditional paper currencies are.
When the first user publicly announces that he will make a pizza for anyone who gives him enough Bitcoins, then he can use Bitcoins as payment to some extent – as much as people want pizza and trust his announcement. A pizza-eating hairdresser who trusts him as a friend might then announce that she starts accepting Bitcoins as payment for fancy haircuts, and the value of the Bitcoin would be higher – now it would be backed by pizzas ”and” haircuts. When Bitcoins have become accepted widely enough, he could retire from his pizza business and still be able to use his Bitcoin-savings.

EDIT: Thanks Phinnaeus Gage. I was getting their slowly, as above. Sure a referral link to become a searching member of TWBM would be useful !
Cheers

I might as well put my lifetime membership to archive.org to good use and search their servers for you.
Look what I found: http://web.archive.org/web/20091222064958/http://bitcoin.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?page=FAQ#WhatisBitcoin
Ask, if you want a referral link to become a searching member of TWBM.

Does anyone have a backup of Satoshi's original Bitcoin.org website text or can anyone provide a link to a backup source ?
I'd be really interested to re-read the 'about' ? page that described the possible workings of a Bitcoin based economy.
This page in fact described something about how a Bitcoin using, Pizza eating, hair dresser might use Bitcoin to pay for goods and services, in a local economy.
Its what inspired laszlo (the infamous Pizza for Bitcoins? guy) to open the very thread with said request. See: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pizza-for-bitcoins-137
and for myself to respond with:
This Pizza is described as the first known public Bitcoin transaction for goods (on the wiki), which I don't think it actually was...
Anyway, a link to that text would be appreciated. It is possible that I have it saved somewhere myself, I'll keep looking and post it up if I should find it.
Thanks
