Comment on All-time greatest failed Internet startupparent

Ted Nelson's Hypercard on steroids? Oh yes. As a bright-eyed technologist of 20 at one of the big 4 accounting firms, I remember being told to 'shut up about hyperspace' In fairness, I had very little idea what I was talking about; Appletalk didn't look like a solid platform and in 1991 few people had a clear concept of the internet to begin with.

I hope I don't find myself looking back in another decade or two and and sighing over the semantic web being too far ahead of its time.
