The Flawed Mirror

You can schedule WebWhacker to check whacked sites for changes since their last whack. If they have been modified, WebWhacker can update the mirror image on your desktop. There is, however, a flaw in the mirror. Web sites have levels, and these levels contain links to other web sites. For instance, articles here in Kairos link to remote servers, those servers to still others, and so on: that's the World Wide Web. With WebWhacker, you control the depth of the whack; you can limit it, say, to first and second level pages. The whack would end on those second pages, making their links useless. Let's pretend you've whacked this page, and now you're reading it off-line and want to follow the link Utopia. So much for the mirror.
