  This. The monitors of the time were called monochrome. Most of them came in green or amber.

    But there was also paper white, which was more of a bluish purple in reality.

  But this site is super hard to read on mobile and really hurts your eyes. I get the nostalgia value but there should be a more usable version for the users just discovering it for the first time.

    > But this site is super hard to read on mobile Not sure if serious... just rotate the device into landscape. Or stick to old Apple][ / C=64 stuff.

    Not really related to my comment but for the record I agree, all sites should be responsive even if they don't look like modern websites. As for hurting your eyes.. that's user preference and this isn't my site. Try reader mode I guess?
