While I avoid javascript like the plague, I do think "89% enabled" would be considered "most" by the majority.
In this application, it's images the poster is worried about so lynx && links are moot points, so are most WAP devices.
While I don't know what kind of cams the monk is linking to, Traffic, Personal or Voyeur :P cams but if it's just a cam links page on his personal website, the 30 second javascript might be appropriate.
Don't get me wrong. I build large sites for a living and the only thing I will use javascript for is sized popup windows (Click here to see large image type of things) and even then it degrades nicely for people using AOHELL or who don't have javascript or have it disabled.
My two cents.
