There are NO other credible claimants, nor ANYBODY disputing it. Ted ranted about "hypertext" and "hypermedia" for three decades before anybody would listen. (Nothing like being an infamous crackpot to keep competition at bay!) Tim Berner's-Lee of Cern (developer of WWW and URLs) acknowledged it. Nelson acknowledges Vannevar Bush's "As We May Think", that he borrowed extensively from; Vannevar Bush did not acknowledge Emmanuel Goldberg's work that he stole extensively from. http://people.ischool.berkeley.edu/~buckland/goldbush.html For an unforgettable entertainment experience, Find a copy of "Hyperland"! It was a BBC documentary about the future of the internet, made in 1991, BEFORE WWW. Written by Ted Nelson and Douglas Adams, and starring Tom Baker! Unfortunately, the only copies that I can find are mediocre [pirated?] MP4s on Google Videos. Does anybody have an excellent copy of it? -- Grumpy Ol' Fred cisin at xenosoft.com
