Weird... it's like... [spoiler] so normal. Only really short. And with ONE graphic. [/spoiler] ^-just in case someone wanted to find out for themselves first. ^_^

And, not to be critical, how do we know it is the oldest?

Same question here as asked by the mods.

It does seem old, as it refers to Lisp and ancient Windows versions, but it can't be *that* old.

The HTML says this: "IBM WebSphere Studio Homepage Builder V6.0.0 for Windows."

Can anyone date that program?

If you're looking for the oldest webpage, I'd expect it to be somewhere at CERN.

Where did you get that info, OldPhil?

But at any rate, there wasn't an internet back then, correct? Must be a glitch of some sort.

BTW, sldr4christ...what the heck were you doing at a boring site like this, anyway? :lol:

From the unix command line, you can type in "whois xxxxxxxxxxx.com" and you'll get a list of the contact info, etc.

It's a standard feature.
