Why LYNX?

[NAME]

Dear cyberfriend,

What is LYNX all about?  Is there a FAQ file that you can send me?

In a nutshell, I am looking for a good-performing text-only browser
as an alternative to waiting for superfluous graphics, etc.

Is this what LYNX is about?  If so, how do I get up to speed?

Thanks.  JOhn Lozier, California University of Pennsylvania
