I'm not using Arachne, either...  just mostly Lynx (in DOS), and, more
recently, occasionally, Links and Opera (in linux).

At this point, I don't know if I would go back to dial-up or not,
although we now have a plan where long-distance is bundled in with the
whole package for one (not-so-)low price...  ;)  I suppose it depends
where one is, whether or not there are mostly broadband Internet
users...  Like places where the trend is to drop the landlines
altogether and only have cell phones...  I'm sure there are other places
where that isn't so much the case, but I'm seeing a lot of it here.

Looks like it has something in common with spoonbread, which is a
custardy cornbread...  :)
