*Was* <CENTER> ever valid?  All of the HTML tutorials I've read listed it as
a Netscapism.  The HTML 4.0 spec calls it deprecated shorthand for <DIV
align="center">.

Lynx is only at 2.8 now; and it does support a lot of HTML features (at
least what it can display ;) on text only).

Actually I think all of AOL is restricted by Arial.  They call their
pictures macros in chat, I know (on MSN, a macro is anything cut-and-pasted
into the chat window, whether a picture, or a silly quote like

[name removed]:
hey, i suck on other things too

--sometimes macro support is built into the chat program [Gamer, GamerX, and
MSChat have macros, Serious Chat i *think* does, and the beta of UKChat
doesn't, unfortunately].)

On MSN the default fonts are MS Sans Serif (ick.) and there are some
ASCII-art macros but not many because they're not encouraged in chat.

I'm pretty sure AOL users wouldn't have a  FAQ for that but I could be
wrong.


Boy, I went off on a tangent today lol
