Occasionally, I surf the web using a Suntel CDMA connection. On such occasions, watching paint dry would possibly be less time consuming. Even with images switched off, Firefox takes some time to load pages. That is why I want to find out where I can get my hands on the much vaunted Airtel data package with its low low rates… (of course, it could be marketing gimmick that turns sour later on…)

Until then, whenever my surfing requirements don’t really require logging in for any services and are purely information based, I use Lynx. With its simple requirements and text only interface, I feel like I’m at my old 486DX machine sometimes. It’s also pretty zippy with the information, making good use of the bandwidth.

Information doesn’t always have to be all images and colours… although there’d be no point in putting that Flash tag cloud (wp-cumulus) on the sidebar if everyone was on Lynx.
