@ajsadauskas@neil@asklemmy As for chat, probably the best way to do that today is to use Web Sockets but style it to look like frames or a Java applet on the page.
My only question is about whether drop shadows on text was prominent. Iβm having trouble remembering how that effect would have been accomplished in the 90s, since I donβt think CSS got it until later. Would it have been something on the <font> tag only supported in Internet Explorer?
