- Of course, none of this stops anyone with an older computer from getting a
- dialup unix shell account. You don't HAVE to have graphics to 'surf the
- web'. I mean, this is a relatively new 'net feature. The shell account
- allows you to do just about everything except the fancy HTML stuff.
-
- So, to the A2000 owner--if you don't yet have the $$ to get a '1990's'
- computer, don't sweat it. Get a shell account and get on the 'net NOW.
- You'll learn a whole lot.
