Are the rest
of us supposed to have a clue about this?
 
 http://www.getlamp.com - Before the first person shooter, there was the
 second person thinker. :) 
 
 If this habit of giving a URL as an asnwer with no explanation continues,
 I am going to start answering questions with things like 'third page of
 the 7th notebook on the top shelf in my workshop'...
 
  Well it was that or a Let Me Google That For You link. 
 
I don't see why a comment of the form 'It's a documentary abotu the
heistory of text adventures, for more information see <URL>' is impossible.
 If that notebook has been scanned and is available via a URL equivalent to
 its physical location, I'd be all for it.  Otherwise, quit whining. 
The point is that not all of us read e-mail on line, not all of us have a
web browser (or more specifically a graphical web browser) on the machine
we use to read mail (or in my case on any of my machines). Which means to
follow such a URL involves almost as much work as you getting to see one
of my workshop notebooks. And I want to know if that effort is worthwhile.
