You cannot browse with just 2Mbytes. Even using TermiteTCP the smallest TCP stack there is nothing left for anything but command line applications.

You could try the non-graphical Lynx

IBrowse and AWeb are the graphical web-browsers.

There is nothing worth considering. It is cheaper to sell your A600 and buy and A1200 with 8Meg RAM.

Ebay prices start at about £99 for an A620 and £130 for an A630. There was a new product coming from Individual Computing, but that was 120 euro as well.

You could add 4Mbyte of RAM for about £25 to the PCMCIA port using an SRAM card, but then you couldnt get on the net because you couldnt use a Network card at the same time.

I used AMossaic with my A600. It's not very good though.

Right, i've downloaded Alynx, how do i run it ??? I appear to have totally forgotten how to use an Amiga ( years of Atari 400's ! thats what that does to you )

clicking on the downloaded files via FTP produces error 10, and i don't seem to be able to drag them to copy them to the a600's HD, im sure its something banal and embarassing, but i really have totally forgotten...
