[PLUG] better than lynx


I have been somewhat fond of lynx for some time.  Tables have frustrated
me the most.  I've read through all the docs I could find on doing lynx
enhancement.  I kept thinking "why the hell don't they just impliment
tables??".

Well, at the geekfest on saturday, I saw somebody using something that
looked very cool.

w3m

My days of using lynx are very near their end.  w3m appears to be all that
lynx is, without the excuses.  Go try it... load slashdot.. have your mind
blown.

"w3m is a pager/text-based WWW browser. It is similar to Lynx, but has
several features Lynx doesn't have. It can render tables, frames (by
converting frames into tables), display a document given from standard
input, and is small."

It's apparently also able to use "Lynx-like key binding"

        There is no fine line between genius and insanity.
