Will the macintosh classic go on the internet?

[MacintoshMaster]

Hi there,
I am buying a mac classic and I want to know if it will go on the internet.

And will I be able to make screen shots and print documents on it.

And will I be able to upgrade to OS 9 or OS X?

And do I have to have the keyboard to turn it on?

Here is the computer: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-Macinto...ps_CV?hash=item2c5322ee41#ht_697wt_1167Thanks,

If you look at the back of it you can plainly see the on and off switch.
As for the internet.. I don't think so.

Looks like OS9 is a no go. I'll let you take a wild guess at OSX.

Won't be able to get near OS X.

6 or 7 might be doable.

EDIT: Beat me to it. LOL

My first experience on the internet was with a Mac Classic. I connected using Prodigy and Compuserve, then Netscape software. Heady days !

I won't answer these already answered questions but pose something for thought. Getting TCP/IP onto it via anything else other than a dial-up RS-232 modem will be difficult (though technically not impossible).

I once played around with Asante's SCSI to Ethernet adapter. A cool idea for what I recall to be an "Ethernet challenged" Mac.

Similar devices are the Farallon EtherMac Microscsi Ethernet Adapter and Dayna SCSI Port.

The shipping you paid was twice the value of that Mac Classic.
