re: 
 
And now my opinions: ( :) ) 
Myself I actively do not support lynx. I have no problems with a text only 
browser. 
And no problems with making sites disabled-able. 
But I do have a problem with a browser that refuses to allow even some html 
3.2, still fails on frames, and allows no client site programing, CSS, or 
positioning.

You have a problem alright. Who gave you the idea that LYNX  fails on  
frames?  
I use LYNX exclusively on my Apple//GS, cant use any other browser,  
but I can read frame sites. Takes a little longer, though,  
but the speed of accessing  websites is MUCH higher than  
with graphic browsers. 
 
My website is a text only site, so LYNX is the browser I write HTML for,  
but also for netscape NN (just to please some graphics fans), and I think 
it suits me just fine. LYNX potentially allows cookies, but most LYNX 
sites disable cookies for obvious reasons.  
Some people wonder how they can download LYNX. Well, you dont. LYNX is 
installed on my UNIX-server and is the browser of default (LAP-M). 
 
Dont forget those folks who have email only (like juno). They have 
a harder time to access java and other graphics websites, but lynx-sites 
are just easy for them to access. 
 
Just check my site and see what a text-site with a little graphics may  
look like.
