I'm old enough to remember showing up to a new HS on a college campus in 1996 and our computer lab being on VAX.

We had official school pages on gopher (!!!) and the www browser was lynx.

To this day I install it on every new machine I get, especially laptops. Just in case I have to find some information on almost zero bandwidth. I don't recall having to use it, maybe once or twice in 25 years max.

But it's there if I need it.
