[ale] How Do I Join?

It is funny that you bring this up since my wife is always laughing at  
me when the first thing I do when Xorg/X11 starts is open 4 xterm  
sessions. Why even use X?

Well the answer is that sometimes (especially when your only  
interaction with a special purpose server like a linux app server is  
ssh) you just need some info off a site that is hosted by a web  
server. Maybe you just need to fill out a  form. With as much crap  
that is expected to run client side (javascript, java applets, flash)  
it is no wonder why people just opt for links or lynx. I really  
noticed it when I got my iphone and found out how long it takes to  
build a page....even when the network is not slow.
