loband - instructions

Text-based browsers, like links, are cool because they're fast. On the other hand, if the site is inherently complex, the browser still has to draw stuff. Moreover, you have to have a box that runs them. Links runs on either Linux or OS/2, for example.

MIT's been looking at server-side simplification, which is a great service both for
