+  At some point i downloaded and saved a copy of
+  = ext_link "Alexia Massalin" , "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexia_Massalin"
+  phd thesis about Synthesis. If memory serves it was from
+  = ext_link "Valerie Aurora" , "valerieaurora.org"
+
+%p
+  By chance i noticed that my links don't work and so i googled it and could
+  not find another copy of the whole thesis online. So i am making my copy of
+  = link_to "SynthesisOS" , "/synthesis/index"
+  available. But i must apologise that the formatting is whacked, and in the
+  conversion to haml some layout got inacurate. My only excuse is that this
+  was never intended for anyone but me. But it is a very important milestone
+  in our understanding of how to implement new and good ideas, so i will continue
+  to host it and put a link up on wikipedia too.
