- Well, for the connection itself it's not important, but for Web browsing
- the Datatypes concept is extremely useful which was introduced with 3.0.
- You need it to display al those different types of graphic files for the
- graphics elements of Web pages. (I know there are Web browsers with
- built-in GIF viewers, etc., but this is not as flexible and upgradable
- as the Datatypes approach, and these also allow you to replay sound and
- practically everything.)

-
- Yes, it's worth it. And please note that you need to get 3.1, not 3.0,
- for your A500. Some RAM expansion would also be useful.
