I ran X on my 33MHz linux box. It worked great. I remember 
downloading a weather map at 2400baud and being ecstatic 
that I could do so. The really neat part was that it only 
took 20mins to download and I watched it load pixel by 
pixel. Even better, if I wanted to download files, I'd save 
all my requests for sunday evening and would run them 
overnight. It was just amazing - I would have megabytes of 
files waiting for me when I woke up next morning.
