on K-PAX, people used netscape on a mac

There are some web sites are there that have literally been untouched for almost 10 years. Once such example is www.k-pax.com. What is it? It's a promo site for the movie K-PAX, released October 26, 2001. The k-pax.com domain hasn't been touched since 2002 since the movie was released to DVD. This is especially obvious since the site says "Flash 5 Required". To put this in perspective, we're all using Flash 10 now.

There are a few very quick scenes in the movie of internet back in the early 2000s. I spotted them, of course:

Yes, that is Netscape on a Mac. No, not Mac OS X. That, sir or ma'am, is Mac OS 9.

Also notice that the search engine used is Yahoo! and not Google.
