Spotted in my RSS feeds: GE-97 Terminal. “A browser-based Windows 98 that boots, dials up, and browses what remains of the 1990s web with everything switched back on — built so a modern audience can feel what that screen felt like, not just look at a screenshot of it.” If you spent any time on GeoCities this web design will evoke nostalgia.

But you aren’t losing any functionality here.”
