I came across this and it made me smile so much that I had to share it with the wider group. https://library.stanford.edu/blogs/special-collections-unbound/2021/06/ted-nelson-email-archive-now-available 20 (!) Or so years ago, Rohit managed to get Ted Nelson to come speak at a conference -- I don't remember which one -- and to have dinner with a group of us afterwards. I was in undergrad at the time at UCI, and was invited along, despite knowing nothing of who Ted was, or his wider contributions to computer science. That meeting, and that dinner, still live in my memory to this day. Ted introduced me to Xanadu, and to the larger ideas of how systems and information could truly be linked and interconnected. It was mind-blowing stuff back in the day, and I feel deeply privileged that Rohit let me tag along.
