Www browser

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi Robin,
I long since decided that one man's difficulty is another's simplicity, 
and that I am the only person who can decide if something cannot work 
forme grin.
I felt sure you found it fine otherwise you would not have suggested this.
Frankly I still do not understand why someone does not work on Lynx so it 
can manage javascript.
There is a great deal of funding out there to support such ventures, only 
the talent is missing.
Lynx the cat has enough of a reputation too that bringing it up to speed 
might ease some of the blank stares you can encounter trying to explain 
what access means.

In any case, back to my point, Others have problems with links the chain 
and e-links, but it works for 
me.
I am working with some at Cingular wireless regarding their site which is 
a total washout with  everything as to your managing to read your bill 
online, same can be said for mci.
If anyone is using an alternative browser and receives services from 
either of these guys, will you drop  me a note off list?  thanks for the 
site robin.
Karen
