Sometime Today, KG cobbled together some glyphs to say:
what about lynx users?
forget about them
Actually, you can't. lynx users belong to a very large class of users. These include users of modern browsing devices including handhelds and mobile phones, blind users and users using assistive technology (and who can sue you for discriminating against them), web spiders (which get you onto search engines), and new avantgarde browsers.
If your site doesn't work in lynx first, there's no point making it work anywhere else. If you can't make a page that works on all devices, then there's a flaw in your development methodology (or you just don't know enough to be developing websites).
