Check out a piece of Internet history
Yahoo! turned ten years old this week which makes me feel like I’m about ready for
the retirement home. As part of their
celebration, they put up a
copy of their home page from 1995. I poked around a little and found a
copy from December 1994 from when the site was still hosted at Stanford on a server
called akebono. To do it up right, download
an early version of Mosaic or Netscape, change your screen resolution to 640×480
with 256 colors, and surf the page that way. Just don’t blame me if you get all weepy
after seeing the gray background and pulsing N in the corner of the browser.
