I'm not sure how younger folks would feel seeing this...perhaps that it's ugly, less useful, sparse. And they'd be a bit right.

But for me this was a hit of pure nostalgia, flipping item to item. Almost like looking through an old photo album of memories you'd forgotten years back. Thanks Neal for putting it together.

Slightly fun fact - the original Space Jam site stayed intact until 2021!

They actually left the original Space Jam site up. I think the developers knew its importance.

Oh man I forgot all about <frameset> and <frame> tags to create navigation. From the early days before we had dynamic sites or static site generators with templates, we had our browsers do our "templating" for us!

frameset was THE basis for building manual-style resources back in the day!

* nav header; search (if you could figure out how to make it work)

* Table of contents

* main content pane

fun times!
