Well, you can use a text browser like Lynx. If you are using a graphical
browser like Netscape, you are expected to be using a mouse -- they go
together like peanut butter and jelly.

Other browsers, voice output for example, have ways to "command" other
than a mouse.

With Lynx -- you "tab" or "arrow" and hit "return." All surfing is via
the keyboard. Sites that are "lynx-compatible" are generally assumed to
be accessible to all end users.
