There are lots of us out there. My IIgs was on the Internet around 1991,
possibly a little earlier. I've had this e-mail account that long, but
it has mutated several times. I was using local bulletin boards before
we had public access to the Internet in New Zealand (it was only
available to Universities prior to that).

I stopped using my IIgs for Internet access when I got a Mac in 1996,
but I was using Lynx (text mode browser) on a shell/BBS account at my
ISP with my IIgs for a little while before that.
