- 4 Megs of Fast is NOT enough Ram, I belive Netscape is around a 4 Meg Program,
- Add that 512K MacROM, Plus System 7.1 or 7.5.1 whatever, Plus running MacTCP
- and MacPPP, and you can see it'll be a bit of a problem. I have 10 Megs for
- my A1200, and it's just enough to run Netscape with. Netscape runs good
- enough for Web access at 16 colors, With B&W it's pretty Fast, but you have to
- turn off background pictures otherwize it's very hard to read the text.
- It's TOOOO Slow for Newsgroup and E-mail in 16 color mode also, at least I
- think so, Maybe 1 or 2 Mails is ok, but it's just to Slow otherwize. Again
- I'm sure it's quite usable in B&W mode.
