lynx - the under discovered world.
quick indeed. ignores so much - haha - the wonderful world of browsers -
maybe thats why they'll be a need for developers for a very long time

ahhh.... you meant the design was the cake, not the browser...

i see what you  meant now...

there are some advantages to upgrading, yes... we all know them
too...  but i keep Lynx on my machine at home for good reason --
it's always going to be fast and clean... and NN2 actually is a good
analog ot Lynx when i don't want to type all my commands, and it's
still quick since it ignores so much...

er...
