I have this sickness: I enjoy messing with old technology.  Why I didn't spend 
more time to learn it while it was the 'latest thing,' I don't think I will ever 
understand. For some reason, it's always more fun for me after everyone is done 
with it.

Take for instance my wife's old Nokia phone. I found this thing laying around 
while cleaning out the front door closet. I should have just tossed it, but I 
couldn't do that. I wanted to show the kids how rough we had it in the late '90's.

I found the charger, powered it up, and found cheap mnvo service for it.   The wap 
browser was intriguing.  But sadly, all of the awesome (#not) embedded services 
that once fueled this phone were gone.  It had a browser, but the tiny low res 
monochrome LCD display was worthless.

I went looking for any WML-based services that might still exist, and essentially 
found none.  There were a few pages here and there but nothing interactive or 
timely. I found a sport site that published its last item in 2014.  

I hate to break it to you, but the sad truth is that the once vibrant world of wap 
is now a complete wasteland.

That's when I though, "Hey, I'll set up own page."  A little digging around taught 
me the essentials of xml 1.0 and WML markup language. Yes, there are still 
websites that will gladly instruct you in the essentials of WML.  

Amazing, Apache still serves it up, even though there is no modern web browser 
that knows how to render WML.  I found  the "WinWap for Windows" browser at 
winwap.com, and then I was able to render my awesome page.

I wanted to include a picture on the page. Thanks to Google images, I managed to 
find some low res monochrome images formatted as .wbmp files. 

Now I was ready to show the kids.  I loaded the "browser" on the Nokia phone, and 
navigated to my new page.  It is probably needless to say that my modern teenagers 
were seriously underwhelmed by my effort to resurrect the "mobile web."
