I'm not your typical JS/CSS hater but for this document, I found the lack of styling perfectly fine. It also works without problems on any mobile device I tested (as expected). IMHO, not every page needs CSS and lots of breakpoints.

The text covers the full width of my 27" monitor which, while readable, is not nearly as comfortable to read as text that doesn't.

Make your browser window narrower.
That's not a valid design decision. Car seats too small? Lose weight.
Look, I realise now it's a site from 1994, I'm just astounded by the number of people that seem to think this design is still acceptable by today's standards and that I'm some sort of new-age hipster for suggesting otherwise.

Why is your browser maximized on a widescreen monitor?
Why wouldn't it be? Yes, I certainly can reduce the width of my browser, but that's not the point. Bad design should not put the burden on the user to fix it.

It’s something a noob would do. The page was from ‘95, widescreen didn’t really exist, and free-flow was the best practice.
