Hey Benny!

 BP> seamonkey is not that blotware, its came from netscape, before
 BP> microsoft had a browser

That was mozilla.  I first saw mozilla on Solaris (X Windows) way back when in the early 1990's.  Also firefox can trace it's origins to mozilla, same with netscape although I haven't seen that in ages now.  Near as I can tell seamonkey and firefox are the only ones left standing from that development.

 BP> links is not more bloted then lynx ? :)

Yes but that also depends on how one configures links.  I have a pure text version with no gpm mouse support and it comes in at;

----- 'stat -c "%N: %s bytes" /usr/bin/{links,lynx}' starts
'/usr/bin/links': 1414176 bytes
'/usr/bin/lynx': 1293016 bytes
----- 'stat -c "%N: %s bytes" /usr/bin/{links,lynx}' ends

Myself I prefer to use links for actual browsing and lynx for converting html to text.  I don't do much html->text conversion anymore so lynx doesn't get that much use anymore but I keep it because it is a familiar friend that goes back to my VAX/VMS days to connect to a university library's database back in the day.  If I am remembering correctly that was in the late 1980's sometime, before I even saw a GUI (X Windows).

 BP> eq where is gohher nntp now

It has gone to ground.  The last time I used gopher was with kermit sometime in the early 1990's running on a 286 off a 5.25" floppy disk.  Apparently both seamonkey and firefox can do gopher as well as lynx and links.  nntp isn't something I ever cared about and still don't.  What for?

Life is good,
Maurice
