@Cotteux Yeah, it's really cool. They even recreated very early YouTube with their WarpStream site.

Just found out this cool thing called ProtoWeb that lets you use a proxy server to serve the web as it was back in 1996-1997. You can use it with old web browsers (and for Linux, I'm using Seamonkey). I also have this old book from 1997: "The Official America Online Internet Guide" that I found a few years ago, so I've been trying some of the websites in this book to see which ones ProtoWeb has preserved.
