	A Real Retro Web Page Retro-tech seems to be the in thing now, as old Microsoft mice become collectors items and Commodore 64s conversation pieces. As far as web trends, they seem to be going the other way. Onward and upward, with VRML, Java, Shockwave, etc. filling pages and bandwidth with breathtakingly long downloads and pretty pictures. When will the retro trend hit the web, though? Yes, I know, I've seen all the cheesy 50's graphics hanging about, but when will we see an artsy page patterned after the early days of the web, when men were men and HTML 1 was it. I want to see a page made avant-garde by using a 75% gray background, black text, blue and purple links, and of course, horrid non-transparent GIFs. To heck with tables and frames, this page will load quick and make the savvy user go It's so out-of-style, it's cool! But of course, who needs avant-garde when we have thousands of I learned HTML from a 1993 magazine article pages look the same. Alas, those newbies, like all great genius, were just too cool to be appreciated in their own time.	Web Graphics: A How to Guide Part 2 Web Graphics: A How to Guide Part 1 Neat.
