Ok, but now I cannot test it then!

I did get the joke... But it's become a little boring after 22 years... ;-)

Therefore: Lynx.

I cannot agree with that. Lynx can be used as a navigator. If you want to see a
picure, lynx can call an external picture viewer (e.g. xv on Unix). If you wan
to hear music, it calls the appropriate replayer, etc. So the big advantage is:
it is fast!! (HTML parsing is fast, no unnecessary picture-loading or other
stuff, no background-picture loading, etc.). It's perfect for quick look-ups on
the net. It would already be great to have this on MSX. Besides, it can also
handle ftp, news and mail (with an external editor, e.g. VIM).
