   Awesome Jim!
   I like it more retro on the net!

   Never thought about doing something like that but it’s actually quite cool. Thanks for the tip anyway

   Wasn’t the DOS text white and not dark grey? It still looks cool. Nice work.

   Excellent programming skills you have there. I came from Digg.

   I did something similar for a web game I made a while ago, but your effect looks much more like DOS than mine. Cool stuff.

   This will be the look of “Web 3.0″ sites

   This is very cool. I tried this a year or so ago and just couldn’t get it right. I blogged this tutorial over at thewebdesignblog.com

   Thanks for this! Very clean way of presenting it, too. And, come to think of it, this is still how it looks on my Linux box outside of the GUI…. (I, too, came from Digg.)

    If this is a how-to, then where are the directions to build that CSS script that makes the scrolling dos text. I would like to do it to my pages.
