But he's right. This is the SAME BLOODY ARGUMENT as NetScape vs.
Lynx, but in email form. Users are migrating from Lynx-type email
systems to NetScape ones. And the people who love Lynx are screaming
at being left behind.
My basic comment: get over it. If you want to keep using Lynx,
plain-text email and a black and white TV, great. But realize that
the rest of us are going to move forward with or without you. Our job
will be not to LOCK you out (as some sites do to Lynx, which is
mostly a stupid thing....), but you can't expect to hang back and
then complain when the rest of us don't.
