- miander 11y agoThey say you don't know what you have until it's gone.
- 0x400614 11y agoAnd the Browsers back button works flawlessly, wow.
- cbd1984 11y agoThe animated GIFs are an especially nice touch.
- kevin_thibedeau 11y agoWith the fubared background transparency.
- curiousjorge 11y agosecure as hell too when you are just serving html files.
- Everlag 11y agoI'm sorry to inform you that line twelve of that html has a script tag. Here's the kicker: it's google analytics.
- gruez 11y agobut no https
- MichaelGG 11y agoI'm not sure that 1996-era HTTP server software was "secure as hell" even if serving static content. Browsers certainly were not.
- jameshart 11y agoSuper secure, except the information leakage: <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="Microsoft Word 97"> ... <META NAME="Template" CONTENT="C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT OFFICE\OFFICE\html.dot"> (Okay, probably not much use now but when this was published, that could maybe have been used to target macro attacks)
- andrewliebchen 11y agoYeah, that yellow text in a blue background has aged so well. At least there won't be a link to that "Contrast Rebellion" site...

- gruez 11y agob-b-but it's not responsive!
- ashark 11y agoAh, a time when HTTP was for documents, not applications and APIs. And when most of the content was posted by enthusiasts wanting to share something with the world, not people trying to sell something to you or sell your clicks to someone else. Obviously lots of things sucked about the 90s web, but it was really cool when it at least seemed like the web was for something other than making money. Actually, it was also nice when the web was merely a tiny sliver of the world that one interacted with only by choice. Hey, remember the distant past of 10 years ago when even glancing at your cell phone while in the company of others was widely considered to be outrageously rude? It's strange because we won, but it feels like we lost. I know, I know. "Old man yells at cloud".
