[Opensim-dev] The internet that never happened (still happy birthday to poor Tim)

Hilarious post, thanks :)
I have to comment a bit and I'm afraid in a much more boring way..,

I also found that peculiar when learned about it in the late '90s .. was 
working at a uni then and had a NeXT Cube there, even got it connected 
to the Internet, and found Berners-Lee's WorldWideWeb.app from 
somewhere, but unfortunately for a still unknown reason got bus error 
always when tried to run the browser/editor .. so haven't gotten to use 
it yet.

When wikis took off (more than 10 years ago that already too?) it kind 
of seemed like a re-invention of the in-browser editing, and there is no 
shortage of all kinds of javascript-written even wysiwyg editors 
nowadays. So perhaps the jury is still out on this one..? But certainly 
it is more a special case and, heh, indeed funny to think how weird it 
would if it was the only option (how would you implement e.g. amazon.com 
using the integrated creation tools of the browser only? :p .. OTOH as a 
region module it is easy to imagine ;)
