Operating system and batch input on punch cards, batch output on line
printer when the operator gets around to it: that's the way computers
were designed to work.

DOS, the command line, single-tasking, and an interrupt table at the
base of memory: that's the way PCs were designed to work.

(I'm not disagreeing that even with the bells and whistles added, a
general web site should also function without Javascript. I'm just
reacting to your above remark.)
