The Background image is a little off, but.... here's a page created entirely on a Commodore 64. Nice to know that everyone's in the web design loop.
Ah, retro...
That people were ever able to check email on a 48k Spectrum continues to astonish me. Especially when I now receive spam emails over 48k...

I think that page is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Talk about sticking to your guns! That poor bastard has spent thousands of dollars to make his commodore 64 web compatable. Hats off to him and his 1541 floppy drive. Viva la Futility!

Well, supposedly this os for the c64 will serve pages.
And this is a hack of a web server on an Atari 800. My first computer was an Atari 600 with 16k of RAM. My last two PCs have had more memory than that in L1 Cache...

My dad likes to tell the story of back in the 70s. His company bought a computer with a whopping 4K of RAM. The system was the size of a couple of large refrigerators. They decided they needed a memory upgrade at some point, so they bought another refrigerator-size box of core memory for $25,000 (this is in the 70s remember). How much expansion did they get? 8K. That's four dollars per byte! Fifty cents for a bit of storage!!! Yikes! :)

Pansies. I'll be impressed when I see web pages designed or served on a Commodore PET. Or, even better, a TRS-80.
