To the person looking for a Mac keyboard and mouse...
Before you start getting that 'ol 512 ready to rumble most of the internet
software you want to learn about will NOT work on it (save for an older
(really older) mac terminal like Red Ryder via a provider's UNIX shell
account). Best to go with the SE and the ADB route and get an appropriate
mouse and keyboard to get on the net. (though you can get up to web browsing
with an SE but without such niceities as pictures and such.) Then such things
as PPP, TCP/IP, etc apply. Though You should ask for something like a color
LC, Performa, or centris class as they would also let you work with Open
Transport file system along with the old system under 7+. :)
