I use lynx as my preferred browser, and only use a graphical browser
when I need pictorial information or when javascript needs to be used.
There are a few sites that are very unfriendly to lynx, but the vast
majority of sites that I go to work fine with it. Occasionally you need
to look at the source to see where links really are. Which sites in
