In places where Lynx *is* used though, it seems to be quite needed. But my primary point was not "Lynx is an extremely popular browser"; it was "take a good, hard look before you dismiss what Lynx can do". The fact remains that Lynx does several things more intelligently than other browsers do, and others might benefit from noticing these features. > What lynx needs more than *anything* else right now is table support - I think you're probably right on this one.
