A couple of things to consider. I'm not currently aware of a web
browser for a //e. On the Mac side I have worked with both Netscape and
IE upto version 4. At that point I'd say Netscape hands down for
stability and the least amount of hassles. I can't speak to IE 5.0 and
newer. One thing you may want to think about is using Bernie to the
Rescue or another GS emulator. I gather Apple// programs run under
Bernie are faster than the equivalent Mac programs. From the sounds of
things there are a couple of browsers for the GS.
Later
