mich418/1999-website — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple static personal website that looks and behaves like it was made on a Windows 98 computer in 1999. I want it to feel authentic, not like a modern site with a retro skin. Use plain HTML and very old browser friendly styling so it would still make sense in Internet Explorer 5 and Netscape Navigator, but also open correctly in current browsers.

Keep the layout fixed desktop size, no mobile version, with classic colors, basic tables or simple layout, small image assets, old school links, and a homepage that feels like a personal web page from that era. Include placeholder text and sections for an about me area, links, a small welcome message, and simple decorative details that fit the late 90s web vibe.

Please keep it lightweight and easy to edit, with all assets organized cleanly.
