Depends upon what you do. For word processing, yes,
what we have is a bit
overkill, but now a days I can keep an editor, my email client and a web
browser going. Email because I'm addicted, and the web browser so I can do
research using Google. While you can get an IP stack for the C-64, TCP is a
bit of a heavy-weight protocol and I'm not sure if you can have that, and a
browser (even text based) in 64K of RAM.
Who says you need TCP/IP in the C64 to do web browsing? *innocent smile*

Strictly speaking, this is cheating, but it works. I demonstrated this with
a Lantronix UDS-10 Ethernet-to-serial interface at VCF5.
