    I can kind of get it to work on Netscape 3.0 if I turn off Javascript,
    but the layout sucks. I haven't tried it on Lynx. I'd also be curious to know if it works
    on Arachne.

    Cool project! And I like the Tandy! :)

    Any reason why you are adverse to HTTPS? I wonder if anyone would sign up without it these days?

    Older browsers can't handle the encryption algos used today, heck, some even don't support anything other than port 80.

    As far as sign ups, I'm mostly doing the projects for my own entertainment/nostalgia.

    I wish it had an rs232 serial port so I could do some BBS'ing.

    Ok, I see now.

    Got it, makes sense.

    That would be cool. Do you have any other vintage computers/electronics? Sadly I have none anymore. My first computer was an Apple 2e, and I wish I still had that as well as the old PCs I had from the 80s. Cyberdecks seem fun so I might play with that.

    Your Tandy was cool because it was your childhood computer is that right? So cool you held onto it! But if you have any other fun things, let me know (or post on Friendbook :) )
