Re: Apple II GS Questions

[rrhuehn@net.compu (Bob)]

Thanks to everyone for all the help!  One last question, if I download
stuff from the net from asimov, how hard is it to transfer this stuff
from my PC to the GS?  Also, if I was to get a modem for the GS, can I
connect to the internet with it?  If so, what kind of software will I
need to get?  I love the old Apples and want to put this GS to use
being it is in mint condition but don't know much about it.  I used to
do homework and play lots of games on the II+, IIc, IIe.  But never
had a GS.  I also have a Lazer 128, Apple compatible I got from Sears
in 1989.  How would this compare to the GS?
