This is exactly the kind of awesomeness I come to YCNews for.

Does anyone know the answer to his question about the <HYPE> tag?

I found this: http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/sounds/_HYPE.html

"<HYPE> is an "easter egg", an obscure feature hidden in a program for no other purpose than to make the programmers giggle themselves silly. In some versions of Netscape, <HYPE> plays a silly sound."

Better run those old browsers in a sandbox!

For a minute I thought this was going to lead to a page about IE6. I was really looking forward to learning what drugs I needed to take to turn that into a happy experience.

Fortunately, I'm much more willing to forgive a browser that is incompatible with the standards that were written five years after its release. :)

Title should be hyphenated.
