Spectrum's price was slashed in half, oh, about 2 or 3 years ago. The cost
of Spectrum is $35, and the built-in text editor has the ability to load
in html documents and to render those html documents. IOW, you don't need
the IIGS web browser Spectrum Internet Suite to display/render html;
Spectrum without the $15 add-on web browser will do it just fine.

To word that another way...if you want to view html while on the net,
you will need Spectrum + Spectrum Internet Suite. On the other hand, if
the html file resides on your IIGS's hard drive, RAM card, or disk,
Spectrum's text editor is all that's needed to display/render the html
code.

Lynx is a Unix/Linux program, but can easily be used by an Apple II 
that's connected to the net, with any software that emulates VT-100, via a
dial-up Shell Account.
