Www browser

[Robin Williams]

Hi,
Karl's website is
www.eklhad.net
  I'm not sure I'd say that it's difficult to use. It takes some adjusting 
to but I managed to get used to it pretty quickly, especially if you read 
the relevant sections of the documentation. I don't use it to anything like 
it's full capabilities though.
  I agree that something needs to be done to get more textbased browsers to 
handle javascript. A lotof the sites I use have a high content of 
javascript, and so for the moment I do most of my internet browsing in 
windows. as I'm trying to get more over to linux, I will have to experiment 
with Orca using firefox, but I'm told it's not particularly good yet.
hth,
Robin Williams
