Yeah I stumbled across that yesterday. Flashing text, broken links, the works. Brilliant. :)

I have been on the internet since I was about 3-4 years old, and I can honestly say that this brought back some good memories. Farewell, GeoCities; your crappy web pages gave you all a special place in our hearts.

Sad sad news... I built my first website on Geocities on a Sega Saturn NetLink with a 28.8K Modem and an on screen keyboard using just a controller to write out tables in html. Now today I do it for a living :D.
