'Margie, go on and flick a switch and watch the screen change'

Our friends at Baby Robot Industries - and full disclosure, the brains behind the bidness really are two of my friends - traveled back in time recently and explored the 1990s websites of Atlanta's biggest hometown companies, including Home Depot, UPS, and Coca-Cola. Web enthusiasts hoping for Geocities-quality designs will be disappointed. Suntrust's site, however, is pretty damn rough.
