it's about respect for the weirdest !  
 
 go back in 80's,   before the "graphic internet",  the web was existing among newsgroups & bbs.     
i like to see that some very skilled programmers who litteraly take the guts of these old good computers.  and it's even awesome that commodore64 have tcp/ip now !   even vic20 had a twitter experience  

     sure it's a nightmare even just for have "google" in text mode.  but it's that the real computer respect !  get the guts of your hardware.     crystal atari browser  was known for atari st/tt.
but well if it's only a game site  that is not necessary   (damn  that's the third site after megavideo/myspace  that i cannot try access anymore)
