PS I am not a technophobe!
I was hacking my way into Unix #PDP11 45 years ago, ran a handrolled fork of #KA9Q on #DemonInternet for a decade, wrote lots of my own software for maintaining a large pre-CMS website etc.
But the #AndroidGmailApp has me beaten. ☹️
Browsing the Gopherspace on an Amiga 500 with AmigaNOS. The Gopher client uses message ports and AmigaGuide as a browser to display the content.
The whole world is now at my Amiga 500’s fingertips!

My Amiga 500 is now finally online with the #AmigaNOS TCP/IP stack!
Here is a somewhat detailed guide I made on the AmigaNOS TCP/IP stack: https://neongod.neocities.org/a500-amiganos
I also created a 'complete' archive, that combines the many different incomplete ones out there. It contains the full folder structure from the original archive, the latest GW binary with PPP support and a Gopher client, the source code, example configuration for PPP/SLIP, documentation, etc.

This is totally major interesting, especially because if you lurk long enough on the forums, you find #KA9Q himself and a bunch of his @Qualcomm friends discussing the merits and demerits of mobile routing protocols.
My formative Internet experience was getting #KA9Q NOS running on a Zenith Z-151 so let's just say I'm a fan.
The use case I have in mind is severe storm lookout, e.g. web cam pointed at a tornado from a water tower. Wouldn't want to be up in the air flying then.
