    I didn't really touch the web until five years later and my first exposure was through the Unix-based system of Lynx. It was all text-based with no mouse control and I was not terribly impressed.

    I wouldn't be either, didn't sound like a great system to use at all.

      Well, it's certainly not as pretty to use as a modern GUI-based web browser, but when there were fewer pictures on the web, it was certainly a usable system. Even in the age of graphical browsers, there are times when features of Lynx (and Links) can be advantageous to troubleshooting web pages or scripting downloads.
