The Answer is 410 which simply says "Gone" but 404 says "Not Found" confusing isn't it?  On the older FTP error list I'd guess would have been 421,425 or 426? I did find the "404" referred to a non existent room at CERN where Tim Berners-Smith worked(who made the Web work) quote: Having visited CERN myself, I can tell you that Room 404 is not on the fourth floor - the CERN office numbering system doesn't work like that - the first digit usually refers to the *building* number (ie. building 4), and the second two to the office number. But, strangely, there is no room "04" in building "4", the offices start at "410" and work upwards - don't ask me why. Sorry to disappoint you all, but there is no Room 404 in CERN - it simply doesn't exist, and certainly hasn't been preserved as "the place where the web began". In fact, there *is* a display about this, including a model of the first NeXT server, but the whole "Room 404" thing is just a myth."
