I use links (or sometimes lynx) quite often, especialy when I just need to 
re-check some content on a URL I remembered when on a console (so much like a 
man page).

btw, javascript is also a bad idea on small screen devices. Not even because 
those micro browsers on PDAs and phones don't support full javascript, but 
also because the javascript assumes some (wide) screen propperties when 
changing the layout.

Most of these browsers also 'squish' the page onto the screen putting table 
row-elements below each other etc. Opera is a good browser to check this, 
press Shift+F11 and it emulates a small screen device. Opera is currently the 
most common small screen webbrowser, so it's probably a good idea to check if 
MythWeb renders in a meaningfull way.
