Ok, this semester I am taking a beginning computer course because it is required for further computer science courses. We are now learning HTML, and the page I just had to make is making me want to cry 
Now I do understand why we are having to make a page like this. First, the page instruction were probably made years ago when this would have been a good, cutting-edge page. Second, this is just a tiny taste of HTML designing, and 99% of the people in this class won't ever write another line of HTML in their lives. And third, learning CSS and web standards is far beyond the scope of this class.
But without further ado, this is the page that is making me class at my skin:
