Digging through websites cached from the 90s is akin to seeing a celebrity’s high school yearbook pictures—during the early, awkward years of the web, brave companies made a stab at winning consumer hearts through 15″ CRTs and 14.4k dial up modems. Inspired by this MSU page, we decided to take a gander through the Internet Archive’s Wayback machine (a service that started saving pages in 1996). Needless to say, we found some funny stuff.galleryPost(\’gizwayback\’, 3, \’\');
My personal favorite might be the LEGO site, but really, there are no winners on this list. What do you think? Oh, and special (nonexistent) prize to anyone who digs through the Wayback archives and finds funny stuff for the comments. [wayback] Photos by Eric Sheline

A Circuit City employee writes on the High-Def Digest forum that Big Red is taking Toshiba’s already deep HD DVD price cuts a step bloodier: They’ve tagged the cheap HD-A3 and higher-end HD-A30 as clearance items, moving them out the door for $100 and $150, respectively. Placing HD DVD on clearance effectively means Circuit City is quitting the format, at least on the hardware side. Someone ring the bell, please. [High-Def Digest via Max Console]
