Yes. I'm using lynx even with pictured pages, and links+ for all cases where it's really needed. There are only two pages which don't work with these browsers, that's orkut and the online banking system of one of my two banks. Most "modern" people "use" the web for viewing "pages" of multi-media content; however, a few still know that HTML is no design language, and don't need to parse flash and whatnot. We use the web primarily for looking at news (such as slashdot.org or symlink.lu) or for content (text, that is). Lynx is perfectly good, and reading the XHTML 2 draft I think there are in fact two "web"s, barely compa- tible to each other. Luckily, most pages interesting to us are still in the original www. //Thorsten -- Currently blocking eMail from the following domains: bigpond.com, biz, gmx.de, gmx.net, hotmail.com, info, jumpy.it, libero.it, name, netscape.net, postino.it, simplesnet.pt, spymac.com, tatanova.com, tiscali.co.uk, tiscali.cz, tiscali.de, tiscali.it, voila.fr, yahoo.co.uk, yahoo.com. _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
