I still like lynx. I know I'm alone in that. I love a quick, non-banner-add~ing, non-pop-up-menu~ing, non-java~cised, whatever... Oh well... `

Not really. I consider lynx to be, of course, "old school." My "old school-ness," if you will, is consistent with my daily use of vi (don't give me emacs!). In other words, I like lynx a lot.

Lynx is cool for text, but you can't efficiently use it to browse and reply on FR, sad to say.

Lynx saved my bacon the other night. I was at home, and needed to access some web-based information that was only reachable through a virtual private network. There was no way to set up my home machine to be part of the VPN. So what I did was to SSH to a unix box on the VPN and fire up Lynx from the command line. Clumsy, but effective.
