Zeldmanized for your protection
Just the other day, I was going on and on like I usually do, this time about how I don’t care how this site looks in Netscape 4. Well, today one of my friends told me that A) he is stuck at 4.x at his technologically-backwards place of employment and 2) my site like TOTALLY DOESN’T WORK.
This will not stand.
So, I’ve Zeldmanized it! Yeah that’s right, on 4.x browsers you’ll get all the content, with none of the style. It’s like being back in 1994.
Those of you on Mozilla-based browsers can simulate this effect, if you like, by saying View|Use Style|Basic Page Style.

Legible! yey! I like plain as amish.

oh my god! How can you not have the latest browser? I looked at your site in \”Basic\” mode, and it\’s pretty dumb. They should just give everyone the latest mozilla, the best browser EVA!!

I like the look in basic mode. It reminds of of Alex Roman (and Lahoski) and seeing the web for the first time back at Eastern. Quite an upgrade from gopher and FTP.
I also imagine that\’s how Google sees my weblog.

YEAH! Now it works in Lynx!
I remember when we went from Lynx on the VAX down to Mozilla. I pulled masses of background .JPEGs that I never used.
Ah, the good old days of pulling stuff off USENET into hideyholes all over the campus network…

Hey Alex! That’s right, there was some secret system-wide scratch disk on the VAX that would let me download a virtually unlimited amount of stuff… mostly Amiga freeware… which I would later ZMODEM through the serial link in my dorm room.
Remember Alex Roman’s home page? The one with like 8 million successive [body bgcolor=] tags which caused a SUPER COOL fade-in effect?
And then there was the rootkit that somebody had installed on the Sparc stations. It was at someplace like /etc/local/.87XChdf[unprintable chars]. You had to use wildcard expansion to get it to execute. I wonder if it’s still there.

hahaha wow.. the memories.. I remember that horrible scratch disk, I think you told me about it, and I didn’t believe you, until I actually started using it, you could put just like megs and megs of
the most horrible pornography everimportant research and other educational documents. A great resource for all! (and for “all”, I mean me)
