"Text only" doesn't refer to the type of pages Samba displays but the content that it extracts from the pages. Yeah, I find it useful too. Even pages from messy HTML sites like woz.org load in a few seconds on my '020 upgraded Plus. You can get all of the content, minus the graphics (and Woz Cam), in half the time it takes with a modern browser. It would be nice if it worked with 68000 processors though.
