Too true. I use Wannabe on a Mac which only does text and no images, 
animations javascript, styles or the rest of the flim flam as mostly 
the meaning is only in the text. I can check the site in iCab, a far 
superior browser to IE or NS (far smaller, faster, more stable etc) 
if the formatting has any significat meaning in it. I can fall back 
to IE5 if there is SSL or Javascript required (which I rarely do) as 
iCab not yet complete in this area. NS6 is useless and NS4.7 lacks 
features.
