Party like its 1968

I love it when pieces of classic hypertext systems make their way onto the web. Now we have Douglas Engelbart's NLS/Augment making an appearance as HyperScope.

You can learn more about Augment/NLS here:

• Pages 36-37 in Jakob Nielsen's Multimedia and Hypertext book (if you have it on your bookshelf like I do)
• The augmented knowledge workshop (you need an ACM Digital Library account or you can buy it for $5)
• Bootstrap Institute version of The Augmented Knowledge Workshop
• NLS on wikipedia

I was only 3, so I missed the mother of all demos in 1968 where Douglas kicked off interactive computing with NLS.
