I don't understand. I just now accessed the site with Bobcat/Lynx and
all I could see was a blank white screen. I downloaded the source and
then converted it to text. This is all there is:

I do not know why the page would not render with Bobcat/Lynx. All I
could see was a blank screen. The source appeared to be straight-up
HTML to me. When I attempted to access this site with Arachne, a page
named http://www.cherryroms.com/cgi-bin/cr?page=News automagically
loaded instead. I was very impressed with how fast the page downloaded,
images and all. This is something truly remarkable.
