Like, I find that the best way to hook up to the Internet is with a Commodore 64 and Freenet. You can pick up a Commodore 64 system for next to nothing, and the Freenet connection is either free or at a nominal cost. You don't get any graphics, but you do get all the text. You can connect with groups like this, send and receive e-mail, and any text based procedure can be done. [log in to unmask]
