Like most of us, I do mostly have a text-based view of life although, under X Emacs lets me view office docs, JPEGS and PDFs and surfing with w3m under X is hardly "text-only". Then again, if we look at it like that, there would hardly have been a point to the article and the author wanted to get their point across! Cheers, Jonathan -- jjg: Jonathan J.
