I am sympathetic to Bob's point of view, and so I use PINE and LYNX mostly too, although I also use graphical browsers and WYSIWYG editors (I hate reading source code because I get lost in too many characters at the same time that aren't relevant to me). It makes well-designed accessible media-rich sites into simple text sites without distractions, which suits me fine. (If only there were more of them) cheers Charles On Thu, 2 Aug 2001, Access Systems wrote: I am an engineer over 50 who has used a computer for over 30 years and in recent years I was having more and more problems. well diagnosed with ADD at over 50 years old. BUT graphics enviorenment was driving me nuts....seems that the plain old white on black text is clear concise and exactly what the doc ordered. I just want to be able to use the site...plain text no goodies cluttering up things. BTW, I use PINE as my e-mail client and LYNX as my browser. still run either MSDOS or LINUX, and occasionall UNIX (don't do windoz or macs). > Do folks think this sort of audio reading would be good for a portal as > was original described I believe or for longer narrative texts. personally I have unplugged the speaker on my computer just another point of view Bob
