That's why I'm enjoying using Courier so much. It's strips off all the
web page flab and gives you the text, and nothing but the text.
Naturally, really poorly designed and WinIE-specific sites won't work
well (or at all), but that just underlines the point of sticking with
standardized markup. So everybody has equal access.
