PCs can be had for as little as $300 these days.
Why would I want a PC when I have an Apple II? That is the whole point
of classic computing - using my original IIc 03 to access the internet.
Until I bumped in that one website, I've had no problems using the
internet for the past 20 years with it. I frequently use Yahoo, Google,
Bing, Kijiji, any news site around the world etc. There is nothing a PC
would offer me other than accessing that one website which is just a
copy of several other websites, which I _can_ access, anyway. I tried
graphic internet on a friend's WinXP system with high speed. It was
actually way slower than my text access through a dialup connection
using Lynx. I don't worry about malware, virii, excessive ads on
websites as Lynx ignores all that and my IIc is safe from all that junk.
If a very long road has one tiny pothole, do you buy a new car or just
avoid the pothole?
