    You are really 3733t.

    Does the fact that you use Lynx make you feel special or somehow better than everyone else??

    I got some news for you: Nobody ever used Lynx. When text-based WWW browsers were the rage, the web was a bad Gopher knockoff.

    That was rhetorical.

    In short, you're a twit.

    Can you say, "It doesn't make economical sense to disrupt our assembly line to produce a different kind of machine when only 0.24% of customers want it."? I knew you could. Now, can you blame them?
