Why is a 800 not great for web. Is it just too slow?
It is very very slow if you use a somewhat modern browser (Like IE 4 or Netscape 4 or iCab).
However I still use mine for web browsing when I'm at my secondary home. I do not use the latest browser that will work, however. I use good old Internet Explorer 2.0 It runs really fast on Quadras (!!!) and doesnt barrage you with annoying errors like Netscape. Internet Explorer 2.0 is pretty stable. The one reason why most people would never consider using it is it displays web pages terribly (it was written in 1996 after all). BUT it is good enough to read the information and see the graphics on web pages. Just not good enough to arrange everything right. If this is satisfactory to you, then I suggest Internet Explorer 2.0. It also runs on system 7.1.x which I like because it is faster booting than 7.1 and up.
I like to keep in mind that I'm using a Quadra for gods sakes and I don't really need to use all the snazziest latest stuff on that computer. I have a G4 for that.
