1995 has black text on black pen illustration. 2014 has thin gray text on brightened starry sky, which is too faint for my FHD Dell. Indians still buy 800p laptop and desktop screens which are too faint for rooms without curtains. 1997 and 2015 are also painful to read. Early 2000s with "IE at 1024X768" haven't aged well for high resolution screens. I will fight to not diverge from stock Bootstrap and landing pages to be upto 3 screens and definitely no scroll hijacking.
