This reminds me of a related issue: all the ISP's that require "minimum" harware
and specific operationg system/application requirements. Are they really saying
that they won't SUPPORT other platforms, or simply that they don't know how?
Case in point: NetZero insists you have to use their proprietary software to connect
to their service. I have everything necessary on both my Mac LCIII and my Telex
1260 to dial-in and connect/browse, but I can't use them since I need Win98 and
a Pentium to run THEIR software? There must be ways around this, as evidenced
by all of you communicating with this list on "obsolete" computers.

"This program requires Windows98 or better." So I installed Linux.
