Re: [Lynx-dev] it doesn't render tables.... :-(

Sorry, I've been posting on a few different threads, I mentioned here earlier:

Perhaps I'm spending too much time reading sites of like mind and the
movement isn't as widespread as I'd like it to be. But there are a lot
of high-profile sites in Erik Meyer's 'Redesign Watch':

ABC News, Disney Store UK, Wired, Chevrolet, Movies.com, Amnesty
Intl., AOL, Sprint, AT&T, Macromedia. Heck there's even been some
hubbub about the Microsoft homepage trimming down the use of poor
design methods - they still use tables, but not many. And it looks
great in Lynx.
