Re: Text-columns and CSS

["Dennis Melentyev" <dennis.melentyev@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hardly can see any reason to keep text-only browsers compatibility.
They are good for running from scripts but not for real surfing.
Almost everyone use Firefox/Opera/IE these days.

Trying to have as minimum of javascript/CSS/Flash as possible is a
good approach, but plain-old-html requirement is not an option IMHO.

Do you see any particular reason? Except just ability to use "links".
Do you really use "lynks and Co" for day-to-day browsing?
