If this was the internet of old I'd still be waiting for the first row of GIFs to load and my computer would grind to a halt after the fifth.
But I do miss it so.

Totally agree. This would have killed my computer back in the mid or late 90's!
I was impressed how everything rendered without a glitch on Chrome on my Mac (I do have a new Mac...).
We've come a long way. :)

Well, to be fair, this is a modern website composed of artifacts from the Geocities archive. This page would be a beast if it were implemented with techniques of the era.
Looking at the source for the page, the author seems to be lazy loading the assets and then dynamically placing them in the page with CSS.
We've definitely come a long way.
