a question

[Camille Del Vecchio]

	We use Lynx for Internet access and it is lightning fast.  
Unfortunately it is obtuse and extraordinarily hard to use.  Many sites 
are for graphical browsers only and the others, while usable, require 
great wellsprings of ingenuity and resourcefulness to conquer. It CAN be 
done but only by the few and the brave. 

  "My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to 
say, and then to say it with the utmost levity." G.B. Shaw
