I estimate that 4-5 million people have access to LYNX, and that perhaps 3
million have used it at some point.  But less than 500,000 still use it
regularly (I use it infrequently, but occasionally).  Still, Delphi would
appear to be well situated to nail a niche a market of a few hundred thou
folks who are anti-graphic. That could be run profitably for people who do
not want the latest features, or who use older equipment.  

BTW, 14.4 or slower connections STILL constitute the majority of dial-up
connections..........  do not confuse the bleeding edge with the mass
market.
