You can do lots of great things.

I am writing this on my laser 128. I have proterm 2.2 and im on the
net. I use IIgif and now i have graphics. There is also an aiff prog
so i can get mac sound. Thats about it for me. I have no expansion box,
an extra 5 1/4 and that's it. I too still have the magnavox amber mon.
but have decided to hook my tv to it via a radio shack modulator.  Im
only on at 2400 but im sure if i got a better  modem i could up that too.
I have also made many great web pages through my proterm editor.
