Re: Announcement: Contiki for the Apple2

["Donald C. Lee" <coach41@pacbell.net>]

Wow, congratulations!  Dang, my IIe isn't all too functional anymore. I 
might have to pick up a used IIe and one of the two A2 ethernet cards 
available to try it out.

With Contiki, I can perhaps have an 8 bit Apple II running for years to 
come.  :D  I can surf the web, do some things that are not graphics 
related, etc.  :)

Now out of curiosity, with the web so graphics heavy (among other 
things), what do most people use text browsers (like Contiki, Lynx) for 
these days?

I assume most people will read the news (local and otherwise) and any 
Apple II sites.

What else do people like to do?

Regardless of what Contiki can and cannot do, it's great for 8 bit users 
to hit the Internet.  :D
