You don't need the full URL. Every time I see someone bitch about somebody posting a link to duggmirror.com without even seeing if that directs them to the right page, I digg it down. - lickmygiggle, on 10/12/2007, -5/+23Isn't that where hardcore ASCII pr0n came from?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+33oops, digg down
- reevolutn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10i think that may be the reflection in _your_ screen...
- MobbyG, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12Retro computing rocks!
Amiga (my personal fav), C=64/128 (Next best!), Atari.. They all rock! - AdrianRice, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14J O S H U A
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9apparently the negative diggs on my comment mean some people don't remember the password to the school computer in War Games.
- Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11How about a nice game of chess?
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Everytime you ____, ____ kills a _____.

Every time I see you make a comment, I don't read it, I just digg it down. - evilgold, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Didnt the apple II support serial modems? Still neat though seeing as this one is running off a custom ethernet card.
- KayIslandDrunk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7255.255.255.9 eh?
- general13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Good thing he didn't visit MySpace. The unfettered chaos of HTML would've broken it's fragile mind.
- felchdonkey, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Because the rest of the time you're spending on Digg is productive, important time?
- dattaway, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11
- ewy99, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Or just use Opera with the Nostalgia setting. THat will REALLY frustrate you! Internet on a C64!
- supaflystud, on 10/12/2007, -7/+10I recommend workplace supervisors to issue Apple II's to all employees who insist on surfing p0rn on the job.
- scabbers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wondered why the comments on this thread turned into a flame fest.. then I realised it's in digg/apple
OH YOU GUYS... - vcleniuk, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4First computer I touched was a Commodore Pet.
I was a C64 geek. Many of my friends had Apple II's though.
300 baud modem... [snore]...download complete.
Them were the days... - GMorgan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Links is still useful if you're restricted to a CLI. Also useful if you're looking for information that is pure text but would prefer not to see adverts or any other such unnecessary graphical noise. A good example is if messing around with assembly in a terminal and you just want the instruction set listed without being offered porn, viagra or cheap hosting.
So all in all I use it more often than you'd think. - knodi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Hey look its faster then the PS3 browser.
- zbarnett, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5I doubt you really have to configure it every single time you launch the browser. He probably did it just to show that it won't automatically resolve the settings on it's own, like modern machines will.

Hooray for the HTTP Referer header. - Computer_Kid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Link to th Ethernet card for the Apple II

- chillbox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2looks like something from a web designers nightmare!!! dugg
- hotdamn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Web ][.0
- jgarland79, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The WWW was invented in 1990.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web
And the internet has been around since before 1969.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet - DelMonte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What's amazing is that this Apple ][ actually runs a TCP/IP stack and actually connects directly to the internet.
What many experienced on older computers, was connecting to a UNIX server via a text based terminal application and remotely controlling some version of lynx that was running ON the UNIX server, not inside their old computer. - MobbyG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2C=64 was awesome. One of the best computers I ever owned next to my Amiga 500. I've even owned an Apple ][ well after they were popular. I wish someone would sell Apple ][s and C=64 using FPGA chips. Sell complete systems, not the joystick ones. I have the C=64 30 games in one. I mean they should be able to use the floppy image files, have keyboards etc.. Rig up some kind of net interface to browse and download with, would be great!

- deadlocked, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ya reminds me of using lynx or links on UNIX which I still use now and again
- dDuk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Wow, amazing how loading times haven't changed that much since then... some things just don't change.
ok maybe a bit faster but not THAT much. - fortezza, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, the time spent looking for an article that has something I could use is more productive than surfing the Web on an antiquated computer. If that is your hobby, fine. But beyond that I would seriously question it. Kinda of like when I play a video game more than 15 minutes...its a good break from RL, but after that amount of time it starts to become a waste ( for me ).
- bickdigg, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3or use Lynx
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynx_(web_browser) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interesting video of GEOS on a Commodore 64: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5707213540697742201
- DelMonte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ehm.. couldn't the Amiga run a real graphical browser? This doesn't compare to the first Apple ][ running a TCP/IP stack...
- Insignis, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I had an Apple II back then and don't remember this being an option. I'm pretty sure that there was no www to connect to or even a real browser for the apple II. I remember a few years later using Lynx to hit some web sites and Tin to read usenet, but there wasn't much to do on the internet back then.
- EricG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the C64 version of Contiki looks WAAAAY better than the Apple II version.. but the C64 programs and games always did.. ;-)
I'm willing admit to being an original commodore fan boy..
(still though its a nice hack .. as I can appreciate any retro hacking).. - Excessive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Commodore 64 forever..
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Their is a graphical Web browser for the Apple IIGS (16-bit) called arachna which seems to work ok in combination with a LanceGS Ethernet card.
I can still get Lynx running through host mode mode on my old Apple ][+. It's still a fun machine to use and has some great original and creative games. - MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Armed with an Amiga 1200, a 14k modem and iBrowse I used to surf the net fairly easy in the late 90s.
- jsc315, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1computer porn at its best. :p
- qwertydvorak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1reminds me of BBS days on an ibm xt at 1200 baud.... except the text came across ALOT slower... tradewars was fun though.
- jstem1994, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Aaahhh the days of my Amiga 500. C64 before that, and Vic20 before that. Had a 5.25 floppy when all my friends had tapes (~1983-85), bought used from a computer store.
Damn thing was hot enough to heat my room in the winter! Think it was a Commodore 1581 or something, the old one with the white case. Propped up on blocks for more cooling underneath.
And managed to get an autodialer modem too (oooohhhh). My geek friends and I pretty much had all different systems (TRS80, Atari, Apple). - j0c1f3r, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2VIC20 4 eva
- KayIslandDrunk, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1@zook
I don't know about you, I'm browsing it right now - lars972, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I might be crazy...but look in the reflection of the monitor during the first 20 or so seconds. I'd swear someone was masterbating in the background. ASCI porn is golden.
