For the curious ones the machine is a 2001 IBM Thinkpad T22 with 20Gb of HDD, 256 Mb of RAM and an Intel Pentium 3 @ 900MHz.

Back in the day, around 2005 or 2006 I did that and I had browse the internet in a text based browser for 2 days because KDE on that old machine took two days to compile.

How did it go? I'm trying to make my website more accessible by running it through w3m, so I wonder how the sites back then did.

[-] jeena@jemmy.jeena.net 4 points 11 months ago

It depends on the site, back then there were a lot of table-layouts which were quite fucked up in the text-only browser. Nowadays there are non of them which is good, but nowadays there are JavaScript only websites which don't really work well. You can install a text only browser and try it out yourself.

I'm already playing around with w3m but I had no idea about that table thing, sounds rough. Thanks for the links (pun unintended)

I'm so glad that I'm reliving those experiences because I want and not because I need to.
