Hypertext Creator: Structure of the Web 'Completely Wrong'
angry tapir writes "The creator of hypertext has criticized the design of the World Wide Web, saying that Tim Berners-Lee's creation is 'completely wrong,' and that Windows, Macintosh and Linux have 'exactly the same' approach to computing. Ted Nelson, founder of first hypertext project, Project Xanadu, went on to say, 'It is a strange, distorted, peculiar and difficult limited system... the browser is built around invisible links — you can see something to click on but you’ve got nowhere else to go.'"
He is a genius. We just can't even comprehend what it is he wants to say.

It made Lotus Notes seem like Notepad by comparison
It made the world's worst email program seem like the world's worst text editor?
I'm afraid I can't understand analogies when they don't involve cars.

So... the Timecube guy is going to win?
It made emacs seem like emacs?
*ducks*
Do not look into laser with remaining eye.
That statement was not intended to be factually accurate.
It has been reported that United States senator Jon Kyl has had all ten of his fingers replaced with Vienna sausages. It was also reported that that report was not intended to be factually accurate.
