Blogged using Elinks

I have been trying out the elinks browser since a couple of days now. I had wanted to use a text browser for quite sometime now. Initially i started off with Lynx. However, I found links and Elinks especially to be very useful. Why a text based browser? well, pages load faster, lesser distraction from images( in some ways easier on the eye ), and also one can read the content with more concentration. One major drawback was the most email services would not open in a text browser. Thankfully, GMail now works very well in elinks. Unfortunately, Yahoo and rediffmail perform much poorly using this. rediff is practically useless. some important buttons in yahoo mail do not work. well, let me see how it goes! Three cheers for the developers and many heartfelt thanks!
