It works! Just visit from your old Mac, tinker around a bit and you'll see what I mean.

I was quite exciting too when I first found it. Talk about nostalgia! Unfortunately it's borderline usable ... the majority of pics is broken, which is a bummer in a time where pages used images for almost everything, from text to navigation.

And then there's only so much archived. Kudos however to keeping it accessible from the old machines too. I visited it with Netscape 4.8 on my 8600 and it worked without a flaw.

The Wikipedia access is one of the best features. None of it is perfect but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
