"because it was there" more or less.
It's really a snowball of inspiration that started with hearing that you could add an ethernet card to the system. I found one of the type it needed and hooked it up, just to play around with. The games include a little httpd of their own that ONLY shows high scores, and crashes after about a dozen hits or so. Dissapointed with that result, and seeing how much information could be had with the various shell commands, I thought it would be fun to make a page of the variety that _could_ have been done, had WMS and Pinball 2000 had more of a lifespan.
Mostly, it was just for fun.
