Nobody in this WWW thread seems to have wondered how a 64Kb machine can
sort out all those data packets as they arrive. There'll be lots of disk
to RAM swapping, and what happens if more than 144 packets arrive?
The 1541 has a 144 file limit. The mere act of reconstituting the HTML
file and associated data files will be almost too much for a stock system.
Probably.
