Yeah, but music would auto-play in the background, random stuff would float across your screen, and your cursor would turn into......something.



I think it's all nostalgia: I remember it and it was mostly crap. What made it super special for me was when I was looking at a site made by someone I knew, and I could learn more about them through what they made.
