[Fwd: Lynx Problems]



using netscape with all the known but unsolved crashes and bus errors i
feel like

The difference is Netscape is suited to the majority of computer users 
who possess neither the time nor the inclination to wade through reams 
of excessively obtuse documentation in the hope of figuring how 
to configure it.

In theory thats a GOOD THING, but if it won't work its as much use to
users 
as a bicycle is to a fish
