Re: Delphi Dumps Apple II users (and others)

Maybe I don't understand, but why can't an Apple user just get a shell
account like my ISP offers. You just dial in (haven't done it with an Apple
2 but shouldn't be difficult) and you have a text based Unix shell. From
there you launch Lynx, tin (a nice newsreader, etc. etc.). It's not IE 5.5
but it's still very very nice.

Lynx is fast but text based of course.

My ISP is Eskimo North in Seattle. They're great people too.
