My experience with an LCIII is that even with a broadband connection, Ethernet card, 36 megs of RAM, 7.6.1, and the best and fastest browser that still matters (iCab) it was still way way too slow.

I acquired an Apple III LC, and want to give it to my 80 y/o aunt as her first computer. I'd like her to be able to do email, and basic web browsing. In preparation, I ordered an Enet card for this computer, and maxed out the memory. I read somewhere that I should scrounge up a copy of OS 7.1 if I want to run TCPIP, and access the internet. What would everyone advise as an OS version? What would people advise for a browser and a very simple email program? Where do you get old copies of OS for Macs?
