Welcome to Carbon-izer.com. Contrary to its appearance, it is not a relic of Web 1.0, only an homage to one, the kind of site that has individuality with specialized interests, the sort of thing how the Internet used to be. The latest version of Carbon-izer has now culled many of the huge sub-pages in favor of putting quick links on the page.
