"The question was, "were there Browsers for the C64", not if there now are." There have been browsers for the C64 almost as long as there has been regular access to the Internet. "No Internet existed back in the 600Baud modem days." Yes it did. Now, it was primarily email, Usenet and the various ftp sites. What didn't exist was the Web. Ah, the days of Archie and Veronica... Again, I was using the Internet in early 1984. I can link to my sadly, only existing post from those days. It was a post to net.jokes dated from 1984. I got the now famous email from "kremvax" "signed" by C. Chernenko. It existed then. Those were the days of acoustic coupled 300 baud modems and the superfast 1200 baud ones. With the mighty fine Televideo 970 terminals. Detached keyboards, tilt monitors. "Also I believe the billboards were getting close back then." Towards the late 1980s, there were some FIDOnet BBS's that could gateway to Usenet.
