Browsing the Web the old-fashioned way

Are you in the mood for some ’90s-style Web browsing with no graphic elements? Or, more realistically, do you work with a Linux console and often need to check something on the Web? If so, get acquainted with text-based Web browsers such as w3m, Lynx, and the similarly named Links.
While browsing the Web without a mouse, graphics, fancy fonts, JavaScript, and Java can be sorely restrictive, it can also be quite speedy. If you’re a fan of function keys and special commands, you’ll be pleased to learn that these browsers provide plenty of shortcuts for every taste. After you gain experience, you’ll be able to navigate around with just a few key taps.
Try it folks that is the way I had to browse the web when I started, before those pretty pictures came out, Baldy
