Hello.

Here are some web sites that detail the history of Wal-Mart:

I notice that the PDF version of that Thunderbird profile contains
some graphs, charts and tables that aren't visible in the html version
cached by Google.

Use this link for the PDF version (Adobe Acrobat reader required)

Thanx so much for your speedy response.  I was going to print out the
material today but unfortunately I am unable to open the first and
third link.  I was hoping if you could do something about it?

Hi.

The first link was Google's html cache of this document:
http://www.t-bird.edu/pdf/about_us/case_series/a07990014.pdf

The address of the cached document seems to have changed to this:
http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:kZNaUy8frRMC:www.t-bird.edu/pdf/about_us/case_series/a07990014.pdf&hl=en&ie=UTF-8


The third link seems to have expired:
Here's another attempt.
http://www.walmartstores.com/wmstore/wmstores/Mainabout.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1903877679.1047495413@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccccadchhekkhmfcfkfcfkjdgoodglh.0&pagetype=about&categoryOID=-8972&catID=-8242&subCatOID=-8246&template=ContentWithImages.jsp

If that doesn't work, go to this page (and select "Timeline" from the
yellow menu on the left):
http://www.walmartstores.com/wmstore/wmstores/Mainabout.jsp?pagetype=about&categoryOID=-8242&catID=-8242&template=ContentLanding.jsp
