Surprisingly, a lot of the Internet is still accessible to these old dinosaurs, through the efforts of retro enthusiasts. A search engine like FrogFind reformats results for the earliest browsers like Netscape Navigator, and kind of "text modes" the pages. There's even virtual plugfests like GlobalTalk that links together retro enthusiasts' printers over the Internet.

Wow! Frogfind looks great, I've been thinking of writing my own proxy but it makes me happy to see someone has beat me to it.

So basically "as long as another machine does the work", which would be like towing an old car on a trailer.

Some of us had found many uses for our computers while they were offline, so I don't really get why you're implying they are useless without using the internet.

And I'm saying that as someone who only had access to a computer for about 4 years before we got internet access.
