These pages have a *much* higher production value than the onces which are "Lynx-friendly"! Does Apache support server-side scripting? It seems that you could do automatic browser capability detection, and generate pages on the basis of capability from a common source/database. At worst, there should be a high/low/no graphics page as the initial intercept, if browser capability based redirects can't work (ie: if there is no server-side scripting). These things need to be the default for most people connecting to the site! Good job on the pages! (what's the text input field with no buttons or anything associated with it???).
