+You can use [[http://lab-fgb.com/abaco/|Abaco]] to browse the web<sup>1</sup>. (Abaco is available in a default Plan 9 system.) You'll need to have your IP configured and DNS working in order to browse the web. After that, you'll have to run "webfs" and __then__<sup>2</sup> "abaco". If you don't have a "/usr/$user/lib/webcookies" file, //touch// it once. (You may want to add "webfs" in your "$home/lib/profile" just before plumber and rio.)

+When abaco starts, you can go to a webpage by clicking "//New//" with the middle button of the mouse, typing the address in the row below the one with "//Del Snarf Get …//" (see the previous figure: it's the one where the current legacy address is), and pressing "[**Enter**]" on your keyboard. You can follow links by clicking on them, as is usual, with the left button (the shape of the cursor won't change, though).
