i do... i have two instances open right now, and one sitting open at
home... not only do i do quick jaunts to get information quickly, i
use its other features to gather header info, grab files, etc...

if you think you need to spend any extra time or money to address
Lynx users, you're wrong... as long as you are making good
accessibility decisions, you are appeasing Lynx users...

which means, given the example above, you should have "alt"
attributes on images anyway, given that it's an accessibility
recommendation/requirement (depending)...
