So how do you?

I'm confused by what you mean. Most people are going to answer graphical if they assume like I did--and select so because they use web browsers, etc...

In fact, the Internet now is not the same as it was a few years ago. Applications are deplayed over the Internet and check for updates on a regular basis, etc... It's no longer visiting BBS or using a text interface/command line interface to check e-mail.

Tim,

I think the question was meant to be posed as whom uses a modern OS with a standard browser e.g. IE, Firefox, Opera etc. and who doesn't.

For example, one of our chatroom (and sometimes forum) regulars "Chasmit" only runs DOS and accesses everything via a text-based browser in DOS, the name to which escapes me at the present time.

Andrew,

Thanks for the clarification! And I'm using Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.1 on Windows XP.
