Well, not just that.

I'm writing internet software for my Apple IIgs because I'd much
rather use my Apple IIgs to do those tasks than my 486.  I'm much
happier using my Apple IIs that I have ever been with any other
computer.

All I really use my 486 for at present is to access the internet and
to play some modern games like Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem and the like.
I also do some programming with it when doing work for other people.

Basically, once I get a suite of internet applications on my IIgs, my
486 becomes a game console.  :-)
