I could say "we could use java" but then you'd just say "You said you wanted to use lynx, you hypocrite", to which I could respond "damn, why don't we just blow off the CUI users?" And then you'd say "Yeah, right. Maybe in another year, after you've got X launching from sysinstall and the screams from various old-timers has died down. Besides, if we're willing to do that then we can just use Tk or XForms or something." and I'd say "Grrrr, OK, you party-pooper!" So I guess we're back to the pre-HTML arguments. :-) Jordan
