Don't quite remember how it happened, but pre Unix days I learned to do web pages with alternate text for such browers. Post Unix, once tried to explain this to another design "expert" which I am not and received the very strangest look. The statement "you could be losing 10% of your customers" received more attention. Don't know if he changed it because the site wasn't worth a visit, anyway--why is that not surprising--but the lack of awareness text browser users exist make some sites useless. So, netscape running in x on another terminal saves the day when a text useless site looks maybe to be of interest.
