4. Lynx! I'm still running it!
Mainly for testing purposes these days, though. It's also a good way to check site accessibility, too.

Opera has a very good Lynx simulation skin built into it, too.

7. When DU was down a few minutes ago, I shelled out to
hit it with Lynx. No dice.

I have some friends who are Lynx loyalists. To them, everything else is shit.

Special sweetness about that there Opera skin.

17. I use lynx occasionally. Especially when a lot of bosses are around
and graphics might draw too much attention to my playing on the internet instead of working.

18. My initial foray into e-commerce was via an FTP client...
...hosted on a Gopher server.

No, I don't get it, either.
