    I think the most interesting page is, of course, http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/Bugs.html

    There's technology to enable for most webapps (form processing), and search engines right there. And of course, "Gateways: JANET and DECnet for example" are a "Real need."

    Really makes you wonder whether the priority decisions you made today will seem similarly ludicrous in 30 years.

    Simple, clean design. This is how I like to see it done.

    In the long term, when there is a really large mass of data out there, with deep interconnections, then there is some really exciting work to be done on automatic algorithms to make multi-level searches.
