DOS ain't dead - Serving HTML from MS-DOS

Serving HTML from MS-DOS (Announce)

I have a PCjr (1983 technology) that has been serving brutmanlabs.org for 10 months now with no reboots, restarts or interruptions. That includes two or three "hugs of death" from when sites such as Tom's Hardware wrote about it.
It's running the mTCP HTTP server; you can see the current uptime and packet statistics at http://brutmanlabs.org/status.

floppy.museum is also running the mTCP HTTP server, and it runs entirely from floppy drives which then load a RAM disk. I don't think there is a hard drive on the system.

www.palmtoptube.com is another example.
