I am completely dense in this respect. I'll try to do a better job going forward, it's an easy thing.

Obscure reference noted, ah the days of connecting to internet via PPP and 1200 baud modems. I'd mention Lynx but...

^Yeah, Lynx has its place even today. Though no direct image support, hence not applicable to the issue at hand. The Mosaic reference brings back memories though of how fantastic the Internet would become with image browsing. My head was spinning at the time on where the Internet could go. And here we are.

Does anyone remember genco.net and tyrell.net in KC - inspired by Blade Runner? The first public ISP in KC that allowed PPP. Scratch that, thread tangent getting out of hand.

Lynx was written at KU, by the way. It may be the most famous piece of technology ever to come out of Kansas, after whatever gizmo they used to create that huge ball of twine.
The Internet History Podcast has an awesome episode about the development of Lynx and early web browsers a couple years ago.

Side note, I did compile lynx from source just a couple months ago. Nerd++

Whoa, there. What about the helicopter? Or the red-light district? Or White Castle?

Two Light is ~30k per floor while One Light is ~15k per floor. (combined parcels make these rough guesses)

So it should take longer.
