I guess the Wyse 60 on my desk does not exist.  It is the console for my
Unix box; I occasionally _need_ to use it because the video console has
gone out for some reason (X crash, the bloody KVM switch is on the blink
again, or power failure -- CPU and Wyse 60 are on UPS, power-sucking CRT
is not).

Admittedly I have never needed to display Greek math symbols to figure
out how to fix my machine and get the video display back up, but your
proclamation goes too far.

Aren't you the same person who objects to growing the size of the Lynx
distribution archive because of your slow net connection?  Most software
distributors these days (and I mean both commercial and open source)
seem to think nothing of tens of megabytes to be downloaded over the
net.  After all, "in this day and age" it is no big deal.  If you don't
have at least a 1.5Mbit DSL connection, that is by your own _choice_
isn't it?
