No doubt, but please don't sully the idea of doing something for the sheer
pleasure of learning with the idea that life without the web isn't worth
living. (Wait, that just might have solved the problem ...)
On a slightly related note, I did spend a bit of time poking around the
W3C source code archives. If someone consumed enough mescaline there's a
chance the core libraries could be ported, leading to a lynx-like native
client. And a graphics-free browser is still a (mostly) viable option
these days. I'm living on the boat right now, behind an insanely
expensive 3G data stick, so I run Firefox with graphics turned off. I've
only had to enable graphics for one site that simply won't function
without its GIF buttons. I don't think there's any hope of getting away
without Javascript anymore, though :-P
