 NB>> In any case, yes, it

 MK> Yeah.  Some really poor web servers out there that have trouble

If I were to land on one of those, I'd never be back.  As it is, without
Java enabled either, there are some sites that I don't go back to
either, as they are useless to me.  If for some reason I NEEDED anything
from that site, I'd get someone else to retrieve it for me...  :)

 MK> their old system.  Oh well.  The price they "pay" to keep
up with the
 MK> pack eh? 

Different strokes for different folks, as they say...  and, to quote a
Stephen Foster song... "But that's not me nor you..."  

 MK> Lynx is just fine thank you very much.  ;-)

Absolutely.  :)

My husband just spent some time with my niece today cleaning all sorts
of junk that her computer had accumulated without her knowledge due to
her web usage...  windoze, of course... :(  It sounded as though he was
also instructing her on the proper use of firewalls, virus scanners and
the like, all of which are much more necessary for her than anyone using
a more secure OS to begin with...   :)
