Haha, ya I can appreciate the modern internet allowing for that. I am using
SyncTERM to browse here. I tried running an emulated slow speed, like 9600
BAUD, but decided it's okay to have full speed :).. Perhaps, if I was running
on genuine retro hardware, the slowness of lines loading would add more to
the charm. Nowadays sites are so bloated, it's nice to have something truly
lightweight.

I'm loving the ways ANSI is used though! Amazing to see the UI's created from
basic characters.
