I am afraid that websurfing is beyond the 8 bit Ataris for the following reasons. A)not enough ram. B)not enough graphics resolution. C)modems faster than 9600bps are beyond the capability of all serial adaptors available for the 8 bits. D)processor is too slow. E)no dedicated fpu. F)no virtual memory capability. G)how do you browse without a mouse? There are probably many other reasons this is not possible so if anyone else wants to add to this list or correct any errors I have made, please feel free. I want to learn more too.
