In fact, here's a screen of our viewers. I'm amazed some are still on w95!!
Gulp!

BTW, I downloaded lynx for the iPod touch :P Only really usable from
ssh, using it from the Terminal app is painful. Particularly due to its
lack of widescreen support.
But hey, some people even ported X-based apps, even though there is no X
server. You can use your iPod from a remote X server, now that's weird...

Because in complex software, there are *always* things that can be fixed,
made better, etc.

I did this. Not for Apache, but for an ancient laptop that's sitting
underneith a USB printer acting as an IPP print server. Unfortunately,
the only way to get the driver to work is to download a tarball, work
out how to unpack it, and manually compile it. [Almost unbelievably,
this does actually work.]
Obviously, I did all the document reading from the machine at my desk.
But since I don't know of a way of getting a file from the computer at
my desk to the machine I'm SSH connected to, I was forced to use Lynx to
download it. [Man, I would *not* recommend anybody else try this, ever!]
But surely all of this is just because I suck at Linux? Surely if you
know how to work Linux properly, you'd look up the URL on your own PC
and just use mget or something on the remote?

1. If *my* blog is linked from anywhere, I'll be seriously amazed!
2. If my blog contains any *useful* info, I'll be ultra-amazed.
In fact, you know what? I challenge you to find a Google search term
that finds my blog. :-P

I wasn't talking about *your* blog :) I have no idea why somebody would
browse your blog from lynx...

Well, that's the part that was really *really* puzzling me... ;-)

Posix defines some minimum requirements, it doesn't say what else the
OS may also implement.
Also, I don't think the posix standard says much about how the kernel
should internally be implemented (only about some of its interfaces).

Yes, I know you don't read current events on almost anything. Solaris
has worked on Intel hardware for quite some time, and Sun made it open
source also some time ago. Apparently they have gone to great lengths
to implement robust support for PC hardware. Some people even claim it's
better than linux in some aspects.

The computing world consists of more than just desktop PCs. Those
mythical big servers out there somewhere don't run by themselves, and
they don't all have fancy graphical user interfaces (many of them don't
have a graphics card at all).
Of course there are also a few purist unix gurus out there in their
caves who think that late 70's is the only real computer era and that
current computers are just toys for kids.
