well certainly, i'm not blind & there are other lynx-devers
better able to review the site from that angle,
but if i were Omaha Steaks, i'ld be reaching for my lawyer.
using Lynx, i had no problem finding my way to the check-out
with a juicy steak in my basket; the only problem is payment,
as they ask for credit-card info on a non-https site.
i have told the site management they should know Lynx handles frames.

otherwise, the US move is important & sb good for Lynx promotion:
it's already been brought to lynx-dev's attention.
