Cool, but I'd like us to get past the idea that a site has to use Times font to be retro.

Times is really not adapted for the web and is particularly bad on low-resolution screens. How many computer terminals used Times for anything but Word processing?

Verdana was released in 1996 — is that too recent?

Verdana is sans serif, so not a replacement for Times New Roman.

Also, the website styles don't specify font-family at all, so you are complaining about your own browser defaults.

I think they meant that Verdana is a nice replacement for Times if you care about readability and presentation.

Good pickup on the font being the default browser choice, I didn't notice that!

But that's not true at all! Maybe the point was that web should use sans-serif instead of serif, but that statement (and I hope I'm not making a straw man here) is as a blanket invalid as well (in my opinion, ofc).

In the true spirit of the old web, you can adjust the default font in your browser's preferences to any font you prefer and the page respects it, as it doesn't specify what font to use at all.
