   Hey Benny!   
      
    BP> seamonkey is not that blotware, its came from netscape, before   
    BP> microsoft had a browser   
      
   That was mozilla.  I first saw mozilla on Solaris (X Windows) way back when in   
   the early 1990's.  Also firefox can trace it's origins to mozilla, same with   
   netscape although I haven't seen that in ages now.  Near as I can tell   
   seamonkey and firefox are the only ones left standing from that development.   
      
    BP> links is not more bloted then lynx ? :)   
      
   Yes but that also depends on how one configures links.  I have a pure text   
   version with no gpm mouse support and it comes in at;   
      
   ----- 'stat -c "%N: %s bytes" /usr/bin/{links,lynx}' starts   
   '/usr/bin/links': 1414176 bytes   
   '/usr/bin/lynx': 1293016 bytes   
   ----- 'stat -c "%N: %s bytes" /usr/bin/{links,lynx}' ends   
      
   Myself I prefer to use links for actual browsing and lynx for converting html   
   to text.  I don't do much html->text conversion anymore so lynx doesn't get   
   that much use anymore but I keep it because it is a familiar friend that goes   
   back to my VAX/VMS days to connect to a university library's database back in   
   the day.  If I am remembering correctly that was in the late 1980's sometime,   
   before I even saw a GUI (X Windows).   
      
    BP> eq where is gohher nntp now   
      
   It has gone to ground.  The last time I used gopher was with kermit sometime   
   in the early 1990's running on a 286 off a 5.25" floppy disk.  Apparently both   
   seamonkey and firefox can do gopher as well as lynx and links.  nntp isn't   
   something I ever cared about and still don't.  What for?   
      
   Life is good,
