Retro is all the rage, chief. :) Being able to surf the web from a console is cool, because it can be done from most any machine with a bare minimum of hardware.
Once upon a time, in the dark, dim past, all Internet users used console apps. There was Lynx (http://www.delorie.com/web/lynxview.html) and Gopher and Archie. There was telnet and ftp. Everyone was happy and innocent. That was the Golden Age, before the coming of Mosaic. You probably don't think NetHack (http://www.nethack.org), Rogue (http://www.hexatron.com/rogue/), or Angband (http://thangorodrim.angband.org/) is cool either. <old_coot>Eh, sonny, back in my day, we didn't have no fancy graphics and 3D accelerators. We had to IMAGINE what the pictures looked like...</old_coot> John Hebert --- Jeff Crosby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've never used Lynx before. Never even heard of > it. But I'll look into it.
