Re: latest mac edition of Lynx?

But as stated, I was seeking answers for  someone who *is not* on this 
list...had no idea what lynx was at all in fact.
Travis made the 2011 comment important, because to borrow your own

upgrading  that infrastructure allowing it to remain current..there is for 
the most part  rarely such  a thing as ancient mac hardware.
Still your use of the word assumption rings true.
Others had no issues actually answering the question successfully.
