That is soooo funny (Score 1)

I had the privilege of discussing the WWW with Sir Berners-Lee at one of his first public demos at the RARE conference in Zurich in 1991. When I complained that he needed eternal links to make his 'library in the sky' dream come true, he counter-complained about the fact that 'studies have shown that if a hyperlink doesn't resolve in a tenth of a second, users will go elsewhere'. Well, he was wrong in the short term (imagine downloading porn with a 1991 browser, or even the first Mosaic) but seems to have been right in the long term. I salute you, Sir Tim!
