Re: Apple II GS Questions

 Bob chanted almost zenlike back at me:

 RC(| Thanks to everyone for all the help!  One last question, if I

One?  :)

    | download stuff from the net from asimov, how hard is it to
    | transfer this stuff from my PC to the GS?  Also, if I was to get

Not terribly hard.  A null-modem cable between the PC and the GS, or a
phone wire between the modems of the two computers, or use a middleman
like a BBS to send then receive...  Yeah, the latter two require you
have a modem on the GS, but you really should have one.  :)

    | a modem for the GS, can I connect to the internet with it?  If

Yes.

    | so, what kind of software will I need to get?  I love the old

ProTerm 3.1, or Spectrum 2.x, and you'll want Marinetti 2.0

The question you really wanted to ask was, how do I get connected?  The
best is to have a server that does everything in text like a BBS,
instead of requiring you do to a TCP/IP connection (the tools for the
GS are in the beginning stages; the connection software exists but the
apps for it are still coming).

    |  I also have a Lazer 128, Apple compatible I got from Sears in
    | 1989.  How would this compare to the GS?

It compares to a //c.  The GS does 4096 colors, 11 voices, 8 megs RAM,
runs 16-bit forked files, slices, dices, julliens, and plain rocks.
