Comments in some RAW HTML files in 1999

I was searching through some old files on my WallStreet G3 laptop and I found a folder called Web Pages. This contained several files around Apple's Personal WebSharing.

What is Mac OS Personal Web Sharing

Mac OS Personal Web Sharing is the easiest way to share your information with others on your intranet, no matter what type of computer or browser they're using. All you do is put the items you want to share in the Web Pages folder and turn on Web Sharing.

As long as your computer is connected to a TCP/IP network (intranet or Internet) and your server is running (turned on in the Web Sharing control panel), the server's content is available to users of the network. You control what items are shared and who can see those items, by using the standard Mac OS file sharing privileges. You can specify who has access to items and assign a password to some or all of your Web server's content.

Interesting Easter Egg

I was checking the raw source code and discovered that Peter Joseph Ferrante left some interesting comments in the header of some of the Mac OS Personal Web Sharing files.

I bet that he didn't think anyone would ever check the raw HTML.
