John:

I rely most heavily on Lynx because it provides very fast access to Web
sites that are text-oriented, as most of them are that I need.

I do use Netscape (only available on my home computer) when I need to
look at a graphics-oriented site, but am really irritated at how long it
takes to do a simple look-up that would take only a few seconds (or less)
if I could have used Lynx.
