Once upon a time - mid 90's

There was a philosophy ... that believed ms bloat ... could not keep up with moores -law....it was rampent as a wild Apache,..

An organization "The Bandwidth Concervancy " proposed "tighter scrpts " ....Max ... went along with the philosophy ... mudcat.org continues to be a Very "lean " system.

This is good ... non java and non flash from 56k modems in "the hinterslands " can still receive a very fast - old -school - bbs type experience.
