Amazing! Tristan’s entire website is a treasure. It’s a throwback to when the web was great.

  Agreed. The story is great, too. A really interesting logistical challenge that arose from unusual circumstances. There's probably something to be said for the fact that TDC is a small, remote community, so it shouldn't be surprising that its website is reminiscent of a smaller, more communal web... but I'm not going to try to read too much into it and let the story stand on its own.

    Until recently TDC had a very slow FCDO satellite link that required their website to be quite basic in order to actually be viewable on computers on the island. They now have a fast Starlink connection, but I’m glad they’ve kept the website as it is.

      If they hosted locally, it shouldn't have been an issue, they could have had a mirror system, but that's by the by, I love the website

  They have a slow connection. That's a constraint that will keep you efficient.
