have a shifty at this site. Geeks will be able to have a nostalgic blub. Non-geeks will be amazed. Don't download these willy nilly though...some of the browsers will bugger up IE.

BTW, if anyone wants a browser that is lightning fast but only works on text-based sites, try Lynx.

1. Bugger up IE

That actually sounds like a recommendation to me. :-)

Cool site.

2. I see you like touring historic sites

I conserve historic architecture for a living. Been doing it professionally for 20 years. I sometimes correspond with organisations of similar aims in the US.

Firefox, IE, Crazy Browser, Maxthon, Avant Browser.

and the list goes on and on and on.

7. I just downloaded Dillo

very fast. It is extremely basic, lacking just about everything you come to rely on in a browser. But it is faster than any browser I have used.

4. Links is better. Heck, I still surf with CAB, TLOA & other Atari browsers

just to confuse people when they look at their logs.

6. Arena is not around anymore

Amaya took its place as the HTML testbed.

8. Man reportedly jailed for using LYNX

Not sure how much credibility I put in this story...but interesting nonetheless. :)
