a great many people use text browsers - especially people who are associated with educational systems - or who are on slow phone lines , or who have limited cache capacity, or who just don't like the "bells and whistles". -

for example - NONE of my nieces and nephews have been able to utilize their standard browsers through their college networks. (And we are NOT talking East Podunk U. here, we are talking highly accredited and respected Universities.) As they really had no choice in the matter - they were restricted to text browsers.
