links2.  I use this browser a lot.  It displays
text *much* faster than my other browsers.  Many
sites try to put tons of junk on the screen before
giving you the text.  links2 cuts through the junk
and gets the text immediately.

That is my second choice.

I have one Compaq LTE, one generic no-name, and 
four Toshibas (one Tecra, the rest Satellites).  
That makes six laptops (not five).  None have 
built-in wireless.  None have cardbus.  None 
have USB.  I have enough PCMCIA wireless cards 
for all of them.

Yes, but none of them cost more than $20.
