Well Janina, first, thanks much for sharing that survey. 2nd, in the 19years 
I've been online, this has been a most progressively frustrating year, when it 
comes to less-and-less sites having a comfortable feel.
Sure there are helpful tools to sneak around flash, such as urlview. Almost 
every other week, another NewsPaper or Magazine alters or gets rid of a "printer 
friendly" layout of an article. Miami Herald is still an example nearest to 
those wonderful gopher sites of the 90s.
Hardly ever any more will a web-master write me back when I have any issues 
accessing their site.
I say almost kiddingly, some favorite site would just put up a 
banner-and-countdown clock, "we're sorry, after such-and-such date, Lynx will no 
longer be an option"
As an example, some years ago I was able to convince NY-Times that I couldn't 
access an item, an employee was kind enough to install Lynx on a Mac, he 
reported the trouble. But shortly before they put up a paywall, I cannot find 
any printer friendly views. I don't know how exactly I will react if some day I 
can only run graphical browsers?
Thanks for listening
Hart
