Oh come *on.* Let's not get carried away here. A friend of mine recently set up an IBM PC as a web server, for a bet. An actual original IBM PC 5150, not an XT, although he did use one with a hard disk fitted. Running TCP/IP over an internal Ethernet card and a web server, under MS-DOS 3.3, serving pages over the Internet.
Tricky but perfectly doable.
I should've specified that I meant "using hardware and software native to the era," but your solution uses that. You are literally the first person I have EVER heard of doing such a thing. I had always heard that it's just not possible, that things are too different now.
The point really is that Apple got it right the first time.
