I had someone tell me the other day that it’s posible to surf the Web on an old Commodore 64. Does anyone know how, or even do it themselves? I mean, I remember those old things, unless it’s hooked up to a TV you sure don’t get many differnt colors. (Heaven forbid you try it on a monochrome computer.)
But, more importantly wouldn’t the modem…well…melt? I mean, sure, it’s just data in the form of electrons, but still, wouldn’t it come in way too fast? Or, if you do it with one of those 2400 baud things (is that the fastest you can do on a C-64?), your speed is going to be so slow!
Bah. Running a webserver is easy. You can run one off of potatos, or lose it in a bowl of cheerios. Having an ethernet connection where the data rate is X times your bus speed, and being able to display 500k pages when you only have 64k of RAM, now that I find impressive.
