Speaking of giving the Net (equating with the Web, sorry! :) a bad name,
I finally got a glimpse of Ted Nelson on the box last night. The
Australian Channel Seven talk show 'Denton' had an interview with the
illustrious inventor of the term 'hypertext'. What did they talk about...
'dildonics' - erotic I/O devices.... umm

Needless to say, his spiel on Xanadu was pretty unconvincing as well.
