On August 2 , 1996 , Bob Dole ’s presidential drive broke the Internet . Or at least that ’s what they thought they were doing . It did n’t do the Dole / Kemp ticket any good , but luckily for us , it’sstill up for our corporate delectation .
Like all website from the XC , the Dole / Kemp website is dispiritedly gaudy . The artwork and text look flyspeck by today ’s criterion because it ’s optimize for the sieve resolution and data amphetamine of 1996 .
This alone would make the site a lovely document , but it ’s amazing how proud they were of the web site ’s customizability . After quoting Bill Gates about the primitive country of the World Wide Web , the release announcing the web site touts its sophistication :

The Dole World Wide Web site also custom-make to take each users ’ technological capabilities into write up by offering unlike variations with Shockwave applications and/or RealAudio . The user is even given a layout choice by select from a diverseness of animated and non - animated “ footers ” for the master varlet .
Unlike other political Web site , the Dole political campaign also offers users a mechanism to give feedback to the campaign on policy position . Each briefing paper is an synergistic written document that lets users tell the cause what priority they think a Dole administration should give the opening move .
A feedback pattern ? GTFO !

One affair we will say , Dole / Kemp was right smart out front on GIFs :
Masterful body of work , guys . [ ThanksMatt ! ]
