From the site: http://www.lost-world.com/ingen/index.html -- whoever made that, I'm impressed.

if only the text lined up with the green bar rows, that would have been super impressive for web1.0

Could be done by wrapping each line of the text in a table and setting the background color of the rows I guess.

Looking the these pages help me appreciate how far the Web UI/UX has evolved during the past 20+ years.

Slightly differingly, I see how the web has evolved but also become less usable. Early web was so straightforward as the HTML tags available were so basic. The advent of comprehensive animations and high-fidelity graphics (and explicit design for web) has resulted in hard-to-scan web pages that (IMO) require far more cognitive expenditure to interact with.
