    You could certainly include me, I still access comp.sys.apple2 
using my Apple IIgs (I even continue to use a 12" AppleColor RGB,
which will be turning 11 years old this summer but still viewable)
running ProTERM 3.1. It just seems fitting to participate in an
Apple II newsgroup using a real Apple II to access it. :)

    I don't use Lynx though, not even rn or trn on Unix. I'm using
'vnews' which is a newsreader for a Vax system. In fact this is the
same setup I was using some 7 years ago, except back then my IIgs
had only 2 MB of memory, a 3.5 drive and ran at stock speed.
