Cern Linemode Browser and Maylin font

Show all headers | View raw

Caught this on hackernews today; it's pretty neat:

http://optional.is/required/2013/09/25/cern-line-mode-browser/ is the
story of one of the original browsers developed for the WWW at CERN.
Look towards the bottom of the page to a link that emulates the original
experience in a modern browser, slowing down the text using javascript
and some tricks:
http://line-mode.cern.ch/www/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html

I tried it and it filled me with nostalgia (and a sense of gratefulness
my browser is better than my serial connection these days).

Finally, I found the whole thing through this link from hacker news,
about how they recreated the font.

It's a pretty font, I think.  I had some business cards printed up, just
for the hell of it, earlier this year.  And I used the graphic of an old
DEC terminal and printed it in the GlassTTY font.  You can get to it via

Party like it's 1985!
