"Present-day browsers offer gorgeous experiences but when we go back and
look at the early browsers I think we have lost some of the features that
Tim Berners-Lee had in mind." - Dan Noyes
. . . and ask Ted Nelson what HE thinks! He has some rants about how WWW
fails to include the features that he had in mind. Ted's vision might be
complete-able in a few more decades. Parts of it are shown in
"Hyperland" (Ted nelson, Douglas Adams, Tom Baker) BBC 1991?

Yes, I read that, too. Well, this version:
http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-04/30/first-web-page
The actual URL -- http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html --
seems to be on its knees now, after being widely Tweeted and whatnot,
but some info pages are up: http://info.cern.ch/ and
http://first-website.web.cern.ch/
I particularly liked Wired's line about:
"The team is also planning to create an emulator that will give users
an opportunity to use the first web browser, WorldWideWeb, later
renamed Nexus."
I've posted a comment about Previous, just in case it helps...
