   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> there is 8K aswell   
      
   I've heard of 8k except last time I checked very little to none supported it.    
   I looked but couldn't find anything that claims to support or even acknowledge   
   the existance of 6k.  4k seems to be the way to go these days if even that.    
   From what I've seen in the way of supported graphics, HD seems to be the most   
   common.  That is what I have working given the monitor and the graphics chip I   
   am currently using (AST2400).   
      
    BP> if links and lynx support javascripts   
      
   Neither supports it.  links used to way back when but it required the JDK   
   linbrairies and --enable-graphics to 'work'.  Beats me if it did work back   
   then as I never bothered with installing JDK as I had zero need or use for   
   it.  I did have an --enable-graphics links working on the console back then   
   but ditched it as I didn't like the gpm and/or xorg dependency the graphics   
   ability requires.  I do prefer the text version of links for browsing and lynx   
   for text dumps of html documents, which is why I have both handy.

   No need to anymore.  I don't believe there was ever a javascript enabled   
   version of lynx.  Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.
