OK, I've downloaded the new lynx and am recompiling now. There is such a
thing as being *too* retro - I haven't tried to network my Sinclair ZX-81
(no, not a Timex/Sinclair!), but I *did* network the Amiga!

Dropped like a dog in this heat, it did. There's usually not much that
causes NS to up and die on the Sun, but this one sure did; I hit the
"search" button in the list archive section, and *poof*! Surprised the hell
out of me!

First time I hit the site, I was watching the bottom of the window, and
I see "2% of 104K"..."6% of 104K" and so on. I assumed (I know, I know)
it was the PM4 image. *Something* on that first page was 104K!
I have a dialup line from home, where I do most of my work. I know, I
own an ISP, so why not a better connection? Well, Bell Atlantic won't
give me ISDN (despite BA marketing saying "all of RI is ISDN ready!"),
the frame cloud in RI is both woefully mismanage _and_ hellishly expensive,
and in the end, whn it comes to choosing between faster access and a bigger
paycheck, I go with the latter every time! (I did get a PM11 a few months
ago to do EQL balancing with a 2nd line, but there's another Bell story
in why I don't have that going yet!)
Short version, I feel my customers' pain when they complain about dialup
speeds. If you own an ISP, you should be forced to a dialup connection
three consecutive days every month :)
My rantings aside, I'm glad someone (take a bow MZ) is leading the
informational charge to help clue in the apparently new web czar at
Lucington!
