Re: Yahoo - 10 years ago...

Hehe, this says it all:

Code:

<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>Yahoo</TITLE>

</HEAD>

<BODY bgcolor="#c0c0c0">

<H1>Yahoo</H1>

Compared to today:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">

<head>

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" href="http://www.example.com/favicon.ico" />

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.example.com/css/i-web.css" />

<title>Example</title>

</head>

<body>

<h1>Yahoo</h1>

Oh how things have changed... :D

Re: Yahoo - 10 years ago...

I'm getting 'the connection was refused when attempting to contact' promo.yahoo.com.

That's using Firefox which is supposed to be faster than IE, but I'm starting to doubt that.

Re: Yahoo - 10 years ago...

Well seeing as it's been posted on Slashdot, you'll get "timed out" in IE too. :rolleyes:

Anyways, they talk about the "great browser wars" here, mentioning IE, Netscape and the recent Firefox. :)

It's because Firefox didn't exist ten years ago so it won't talk to you, try Mosaic :)

Re: Yahoo - 10 years ago...

Heh, I first used the web back in the summer of 1995, and I remember Yahoo being a lot more basic than it is today, but I don't quite remember it only having 31897 entries :D
