It's hosted on a machine with 4M of ram on windows 3.11, and specifically uses a web server which doesn't use caching (And I don't think Dos 6 caches files at the OS level, at least by default)

Which reminds me of a catastrophe movie, where all countries launched all their nukes, and earth became radioactively poisoned. A submarine survived, looking for signs of life, and they received sporadic messages like "the whales are fine" (which made sense to them since whales live under-water). They went to the origin of the signal, only to find a computer turning on and off because of its solar panel, sending mess…
This would be an interesting watch, I tried searching but couldn't find it, can you share the name of the movie?
Here's the original: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053137/

#80Couldn't you cache the entire site? The speed of the floppy shouldn't matter that much.
That would remove the fun wouldn't it? I want to believe there is that crunching floppy sound when I press a link.
