the fun think about the old lunx browser is you could run it on a pc
8088 old system!
I have a pc speed little laptop and used the lynx in on the road
applications
we had a free net here in phx and many people used it for ages...
it was fun to use old machine with lynx but if I wanted to really work
though out came IE explorer or netscape get the fastest machine I
could get and a t1 LINE OR EVENTUALLY MY OWN CABLE AND DSL CONNECTION.

It's more important in this day and age to keep up with the web publishing
standards than maintain backward compatibility. Google penalizes sites
that are not mobile friendly in their rankings. If you can't be found,
what's the point?

I've got a couple systems with IE 6.1, but generally I go for Opera 10.64
or thereabouts. Still very useful and not very demanding on system
resources.
I'll let you know about your web page later.
