Re: [Lynx-dev] lynx and amazon?

[Jude DaShiell]

I got into the login with amazon and got that important message too.  I
have what I think is a pretty good .mailcap file so tried to play a
challenge and nothing played.  Fortunately I do not have an employer
requiring me to purchase items from amazon otherwise I'd be in serious
job jeopardy now.  Cookies are enabled here too.  Since this is the
first time trying to do anything with amazon on this machine I'm going
to see if it put a cookie on my hard drive.  The Navy has people solve
math problems and those come up on the screen in text and that works for
them so amazon is without excuse.
