"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.
