  A quite valid point.. I used Lynx long before Netscape was a
company, and Mosaic was kind of unstable.. but I *still* maintain
that a short description tagline would be nice, so *I* can decide
whether or not to pursue the link, especially if it has a .jpg
associated with it.... and I thought there was another List allied
with this one for e-bay stuff and links... no??

  Cheers and Happy 4th to all you 'Murrkans out there...
