When I pointed out to G33k that she doesn't have a single graphic anywhere on her site, she had this to say:


Faithful readers of SUPER fast COMPUTER know that I never miss a thing, and what I realized is, how much fun it would be to pull out Lynx, dust it off, and tear through the 'net with it. I know that you guys LOVE the nostalgic articles on this site. So here we go again!

For those too young (or too recently computer-endowed) to remember, Lynx was the browser before browsers as we think of them today. In short, Lynx allowed you to browse the world wide web from a command window (remember DOS?). Hence, there are no graphics. None. Furthermore, forget your mouse; Lynx doesn't know what a mouse is. You must navigate using your keyboard only.

Unlike those fat-ass browsers that require a zillion hours to download, Lynx relies on only two files. Save this file to somewhere convenient (such as your Desktop). Unzip it and look inside the folder. Now double-click lynx.exe and your surfing old skool style. No need to install-- it just runs like that.

Navigation: Press "g" and type a url. Use the up and down arrows to move around the page. Press "Enter" to, um, click on a link. Press "/" to move to a certain word on the page. Enjoy.
