It is quite easy with html 5 and css3, the modern tools of the web
designer, to detect when a lynx browser is being used to access the page
and in response present a text version of the site.
best of both worlds

Grumpy old man here as well, but if you want to use certain sites
(example: price out a new Mazda vehicle, pay certain health insurance)
they simply will not work without the interactive razzle-dazzle. We
can moan if we want. And, yes, I have a copy of lynx installed on this
very machine as a sanity-test of my own websites.
It's almost as if there should be laws around accessibility!

FWIW, the last time I looked at BBC News with
lynx (I had confused my
laptop's X setup in a botched upgrade), man did it load fast :-)
