an article worthy of our attention.

	What is truly frustrating is how difficult it is to get a
text-based browser that will actually run on a javascript-infected
site.  lynx or l y n x is always the first browser I try because that
application is built like a tank and renders html beautifully when it
can.  Trouble is that so many sites run on javascript so lynx
flounders uselessly until we catch on to the fact that we didn't miss
anything.  The site just doesn't work with lynx.

	Then there is links or l i n k s which has some javascript
capabilities.  My experience is that it often gets a little farther in
to a site than lynx will but it eventually crashes and burns all be it
differently.

	What would be a killer application would be if Mozilla could
run in VT100 mode as well as under X.  I looked in to the structure of
the l y n x browser and I agree with the people, many of which are
much smarter than I am, that javascript just can't be shoved in to
lynx without a total rewrite.

	A modern browser for text mode would remedy one of the few
weaknesses in Unix for computer users who are blind.
