NEW LIFE FOR OLD PCS
New software provides Internet access to old, pre-Internet PCs. 
NewDeal has announced the release of the NewDeal Web Suite, 
which provides Internet access, e-mail, and chat capabilities to 
any system with at least 10MB of hard disk space and 640K of 
memory.  The software features a Web browser and advanced 
functions such as instant chat and Web page editing.  The 
software caters to the 30 million to 60 million pre-Pentium 
machines still in use, even those based on Intel 80286 CPUs that 
cannot run the latest versions of Windows.  NewDeal's files can 
be accessed by Windows applications, and the software can read 
files saved by Windows programs.  NewDeal is mainly targeting 
organizations with limited resources, such as schools and 
nonprofit groups.  (PC World Online 07/07/99)
