It looks like this software is geared toward 286 and 386 computers or the pre-PowerMac Apple machines (manufactured, I would guess, before about 1994???) since browsing and e-mail programs are still available for 486, Pentium, and the 60MHz PowerMacs. I suspect that even with new software there would be limited use (since software can't change the processor speed needed for things like Javascript and complex graphics), but this would still be a big improvement for homes without any access at all.
