Al,

It looks pretty good to me, but I do have a few comments.

First, the reference to where to get Lynx should be the first item in the 
list, and should be reworded. As we all know, I usually screw up my first 
attempt at wording, but maybe something like:

* Where to get the latest version of Lynx, and much more information is
  availible at Lynx Links.

On the bug report item, after it says "Trouble reports from earlier versions
are listened to politely" I would add "but such bugs have usually been fixed
in the current release".

As a concession to GUI browser users, add a background or bgcolor to the
page. For instance, I favor http://www.slcc.edu/lynx/Backgrounds/marb18.jpg
for the SLCC lynx pages. You can reference it from there if you wish, or
copy it to where the page will reside. Yes, backgrounds are totally irrelavant
to lynx, but to those who look at it with a GUI browser, it looks nicer, and
says to them that we _DO_ care about writting pages that look good in _ALL_
browsers.
