Thanks Andrew! It looks great - frames, colour, mouse support, oh my.
But the name. Given that "lynx" was obviously a play on "links" in the
first place, how lame is it calling the new one "links"? It just aint
funny.
And its likely to be confusing. The "gnu" name was so confusing
(supposed to be pronounced "new") that everybody started pronouncing the
silent 'g'.
Wow ... I just tried reading slashdot with 'links'. Fantastic. Why
didnt I hear about this before? Whats a good Linux magazine-style
web-site for reading about new programs like that?
