Deja Vu.org pulls a given URL and filters out the tags according to what was viewable by your chosen browser. Just for kicks take a look at how Slashdot.org looks on Netscape 0.9 and IE 2.0" Very fun -- the timeline is interesting reading, too. It's like a trip down Memory Lane. Or something.

  1. The French have a saying ... by arthurs_sidekick · · Score: 5

    Don't know if it's because the server is being slashdotted or what, but what I get for both Mosaic and IE 2 is a 500 error ... which means that some things haven't changed *too* much =)

  2. Old browser archive by Ratface · · Score: 5

    The other way of doing this of course, is simply to download and install the appropriate browser from the evolt.org browser archive at http://browsers.evolt.org/.

  3. ok, moving to a new server. by noa · · Score: 5

    Ok, i'm moving it to a new server now. The thing
    is that we (dejavu.org) got sponsored with a
    very nice (8 years old or so) hardware from digital. Very nice, but doesn't handle load
    very well. I'm moving over the site to a (somewhat
    faster) linuxbox that should be able to handle
    the slashdotters somewhat better. For those
    of you who doesn't want to await the dns synching
    the address is http://finnegan.metamatrix.se/dejavu/
