Well last week I started from the BBS I call from (he has I-Net
access for his users). I had to tag an icon/applet to get to another
site that he had listed.
From there I had to click a pic. to read a file. Then had to click
a graphic-type bar to get to a sub area.
I tried to go to all text (through my software) and saw mostly HTML
type code. That made everything confusing.
However, when I was at a site sponsored by my Sec. of State, I had
the option of using either text or graphics (it worked fine in text
mode and the option was built in to the site). So I'll assume they
had a "proper" web site running.
