I'd forgotten about that option. I used to do that back in 1997, before BACKGROUND tags really started getting used.
That was actually dangerous. The very first version of this site was all white, black, blue, and purple for about twenty minutes until I noticed that I'd forgotten to designate anything global in the BODY tag; on my screen, everything was the way I'd wanted it to look.
Of course, my screen was 1280*1024; so I also had images which everyone on the contemporary 800*600 had to scroll to see.
Too bad Shockwave sucked in January 1997, or things could've looked good from the beginning....
