It's an archive page, but that's pretty much what the website looked like in 1999:

That's definitely 1999-era HTML and layout, except for the "This is an archived page" header, which is the only CSS on the page. The rest is all well-known tricks from the time: tables, image maps, a few embedded images. Heh, it even has the blockquote trick to pad the margins. Brings back some pretty horrid memories.

Regardless, I wish I could get this version of the website for current articles.
