text browsers

I am typing this from a text based browser on my son's laptop over my wireless which was configured using wpa_supplicant. I have to admit, it took quite a bit of work.

I know I can do most everything using the command line including:

*browsing the internet
*use gmail
*use a mail client
*edit documents
*ssh, telnet, etc
*chat using text based clients
*listen to music

Some tasks I cannot do:

*use a virtual machine
*remote desktop
*use flash
*use gnucash
*view movies
*view images (maybe)
