I need to clear this up. I can, using windows access about 95% of the pages i come accross and when using lynx I notice that there are sections that are simply gone from sites because the scheem which is used to write them doesn't work and occasions where I simply cannot submit a form. I think the problem that many windows users have with forms is that they do not use context to determine what to put in forms verry well. Don't get me wrong, I really like using lynx, but I have to say that I can get things done on the www much more quickly with windows. I wish it weren't so and maybe when I get better at using lynx I will do better, but poor access to the web is one of the reasons I have had to keep windows on this computer.
