I use both.  I have a text account that I access from my Apple IIGS
to read csa2.  It is faster to boot up and faster to read.  I also use
AOL and, unfortunately, AOL has blocked logon from its IIGS
software about 3 years ago, so I do also use another computer.

However, for 90% of the things I do online, including reading NGs
and email, the IIGS is fine.  ;-)

My IIGS has a 1GB SCSI hard drive, a Zip drive, a fast modem,
and plenty of memory.  The IIGS can also be configured with
TCP/IP, a web browser of sorts, and telnet.  Dedicated email
and ftp programs are in development.
