Well, maybe I understand a little... hmmm are you saying that from the comfort of my dial up connection I can make a browser that reads in text format only when I'm , say, I'm researching stuff on Google or Yahoo? that would be great. I definitely would never use a wireless connection for anything _ far too paranoid - or just self protective and savvy , depending on your point of view :):) I use firefox for my browser - I don't want it set to jsut text even if I could, though, because I sometimes need to look at things by images - but I would be very happy if I could block ALL animation and ALL sound when I'm surfing. I had a stop animation button in Netscape Comm, but the minute I change sites it doesn't hold.
