Very few people know that you DO NOT need an expensive fast computer
to user Internet unless you want to see all the nice graphics. It will
run on an XT and all you need is a communication program. Of course a
fast modem will help. I hope computer people get this across to potential
Internet/e-mail users. I got on internet when a friend told me that she
started with a 286 and graduated to a 386. But I started with a XT clone
and I use both the XT clone and the 386 to access Internet.
