Just configure your browser to "no grahics" as the default. You will be glad
you did. BTW.. a big misconception is that one needs a powerful computer to
surf the net. Not true. There are many LYNX-friendly (text-mode) sites.
And simply using "no graphics" as your primary setting, WWW hopping will be
much more speedier. IF and ONLY IF you reach the final site that interests
you for the first time, *then* click on the "graphics refresh" to see the
fancy stuff on the page.
