Family Antics
I have a very old Apple ][e computer, complete with retina-burning monochrome monitor and three large boxes which accept 5-1/4 inch disks.
I am throwing it away.
My Dad: "Are you sure you want to throw this computer away?"
Me: "Yep. It was made in 1979 so isn't really much use to me any more"
My Dad: "Oh.... but can't I use it to go on the Internet?"
D'you the Apple ][e has an 'Integer card' (optional extra) that lets it deal with integers far more efficiently than was generally possible. I don't quite understand the technical detail. All I did know was that I couldn't play some games on it as a kid because I didn't own said card.

I bet you you can get an ethernet card for it. Either by buying one or building one. Some geek somewhere has to have done it.

Almost definitely!
I have a genuinely good reason for not having cookies working - when you click Submit it goes off to a different server, and if that script sets the cookies they wouldn’t appear back here (different domain).
Could always do it in Javascript actually…..hmmm
