Hello Bo -

I used LYNX for years and it certainly is configurable and has
lots of 'goodies' you can use when necessary. The need for much
of this is no longer out there as it once was, we are more
'standardized' now. 

BS> It's quite annoying, because the most of the Internet pages
BS> today uses tables. 

As one who does HTML and even manages to get paid for it (once
in awhile) I can only say it's the only way to keep things from
sliding all over the screen. With users having various sized
displays and different browsers you need to box-in certain
things. HTML will slide everything including text all over the
place and it can get very weird at times.
