  For that matter, w3m lets you set any graphics app you have
installed to let you see ~any~ pic on a page -- naked or
otherwise;-).  It can be a drag to have to click the image & hit
Sh-I, but it's a damn site faster than NS.

  I've not used links, but have used lynx throughout the years
either through telnet or before having w3m installed on a box
without X.  But I much prefer w3m.  I use it daily & far more
often than any of the gui browsers I have installed.

  Can't imagine junkbuster would really be necessary with w3m,
but I suppose there's much more to it than I know, as I've never
really used it.  How does it render w3m pages differently than
without it?
