Re: [Lynx-dev] Does anyone use lynx?

[Karen Lewellen]

Just adding a real world example from about ten minutes ago.
Part of my professional life is as a journalist myself.
I have the old google news set as  the homepage for lynx here at 
shellworld.
This morning there was a shooting  in Maryland, and preferring local 
sources, I chose an article  from the Baltimore sun..being taken to a 
perfect low graphics edition of the piece with active links for the 
critical  information.
I find this more and more with news sources, and believe it can exist in 
other places as well.
General consumers or many of them appreciate just getting the job done, 
with lynx making this possible.
