Depends on the context in which 'cached' is used. If you use Google for your
searches, there is usually the word 'cached' on the results page, after the
description of a site. This is a great feature of Google's.

If you go to a page from the Google results page and your greeted by something
like: "This Page Can Not Be Displayed..." You can go back to the results page and
click on CACHED, which is at the end of most descriptions of Web pages, you will be
taken to a cached page that will show you how the page looked when it was
originally recorded by Google. You can see Web pages that have been shut down.
Kinda cool.
