Techie Wordplay: “Lynx”

On the  Lynx  web browser

"As of 2022, it is the oldest web browser still being maintained,,,,"

"The speed benefits of text-only browsing are most apparent
when using low bandwidth internet connections, or older computer
hardware that may be slow to render image-heavy content."
— Wikipedia [“Older” link added.]

And then there is . . .

See as well the LYNX of Oslo artist Josefine Lyche.

Update of June 30, 2022 —

Lyche, whose art often incorporates mathematical notions,
has not yet, as far as I know, explored the Borromean  link
(three rings, linked mutually but not pairwise) in her art.

Remarks by a different math fan, Evelyn Lamb

"I have had a thing for the Borromean rings for years now.
There’s something so poetic about them. The three rings
are strong together, but they fall apart if any one of them
is removed. Alternatively, the three rings are trapped together
until one of them leaves and sets the others free. I’m kind of
surprised there isn’t a Wisława Szymborska poem or 
Tom Stoppard play that explores the metaphorical possibilities
in the Borromean rings." — Scientific American , Sept. 30, 2016.
