  4. Thomas Dickey is the maintainer/developer of the Lynx text-browser. This page gives some background and pointers to Lynx resources.
    I was going to say text-based web browsers (no images), but then I found out Lynx is still being developed. So if you really want to experience it… Lynx.

    I never had a real reason to stop using aol for my screen names so I to this day I log in to aol.com to check my mail. People think I'm weird for that but then my boss asked me to help her with something on the computer and I saw she was still using the aol program. Nostalgia hit me like a truck. I was floored. I had no idea it still existed. I almost want to get it again just to play with it for a couple weeks. Ah buddy lists...

  6. The Old Net is an attempt to restore vintage web browsing on vintage computers. It uses the Internet Archive: Wayback Machine API and a proxy that strips out any incompatible javascript and stitches together as many links as it can.
    For those too young to remember who want to see what the old internet was like, The Old Net shows exactly that.
