Re: [Lynx-dev] Is Lynx still alive?

[Pia Mikeal]

Thank You, Thomas!  I am quite relieved to know Lynx is still alive and 
well!  I empathize with the pain of server hardware failure and so hope 
they can get it back up and running for you again soon.  Thank you so much 
for your hard work and dedication to maintaining Lynx!  Your software has 
made a tremendous difference to me, to my husband and to many of my 
friends.  We are blind and found it so much more enjoyable to use than 
other browsers with our screen readers, that it played a prominent role in 
kindling my passion for computer science, open source and Linux (which is 
now what I in turn support to earn my daily bread).  Thank you, sincerely! 
You have made a great positive difference in our lives with this software.

Kind Regards,
