Under Construction - A novel way to design your stealth startup's landing page

Since the Geocities 1TB Reocities caught on here again the whole "Under Construction" meme got me thinking. It is kid of retro-cool. Really, is any other pre-launch page doing anything more? And isn't a "Beta" nothing more than an "Under Construction 2.0"?

Now, I wouldn't use any of those old graphics. I'd get something much more hip and modern. But the message could very well be the same. And toss in the lead capture and invite sign-ups to boot.
