BTW, Firefox' built in translation feature asked if I wanted to translate that page from Greek.

Which means you can now claim that your language made a browser say "It's all Greek to me!", which is a pretty cool achievement I think.

Excruciatingly laborious to read as well. The pixel font and line art is quaint but not ergonomic if you have to strain to read it or discern a wire shape. We left that stuff behind in the 90s when high res displays arrived.
