   Shameless plug: my Apple II Resources Site has been lynx happy
from the beginning. No use of ismaps, no server pushes, no tables,
no java, no crud. I value information far more than fluff.

   Tip: most stuff works with lynx if you throw out the stuff I listed
above: ismaps, server pushes, java, and tables. Yes, some of the
latest versions of lynx 2.5fm can deal with those, but a lot of ISPs
haven't upgraded to the latest and greatest. Basically, take most
everything in HTML 3.x and throw it out the window to work with Lynx
2.4 original.

   You can leave in images if you provide them with an alt="" tag,
do a view source on my WWW pages to see what I did. [And don't be
afraid to tweak your .html files directly; they don't bite.]

   A _heck_ of a lot of Apple II users are on the internet thru vt100
connections. I don't try and support only the cool computers some of
us have (I've got a P90, 32MB ram, 17" monitor at home, but I don't
design for it); I try and help everyone.
