Actually, I used Mosaic to surf the web and then moved on to a browser called IBrowse (then Voyager...). Worked like a charm (esp. considering the relatively low intensity home pages at the time in the beginning of the 90'ies - via a 14400 bit modem...). Of course flash can bring even modern hardware to it's knees (yes, I'm allergic to that too). > And forget all about playing music. Actually, it did play music surprisingly well considering it's capabilities (8-bit sound, 4 channels etc.)... I could even play videos (though very low resolution compared to todays standards). :-) Best regards Peter K
