Hello there?



Dear Mr Nelson,

I really hope you are not "misrepresenting" who you are and what you do.  
After all it is true there is no "beta" for your product as of yet....I am 
just pondering.

It would be nice if I could be sure that you are the foppish but congenial 
man I saw out West, as "entrenched" in your own POV, still essentially a kind 
soul, or so I take the writing of Xanadu to be!

I don't feel the same about others in the hypertext community.  I hope it has 
nothing to do with engineering.  I had a woman who is a computer engineer 
tell me she is "nitcpicky" because that is what makes her good at this.  
Suffice it so say that semantics and linguistics aside.  My uncle is in 
computing at MIT.  I wonder if I should get in touch with him seriously, or 
my cousin Judy (she has a Phd in Physics though, far less useful I'd think).  
 Language is, from the theatrical POV so much MORE TOTAL...the LINK is 
sometimes a PAUSE.  Does one not think of it?  It is a white space which has 
motion.  At any rate.  Good luck with your endeavor.  I am muddling today as 
I had an early morning conflagration I found quite unnecessary.  It appears 
that some people enjoy subjecting me to those.  Pardon me, I am in no way 
comparing you with the "overly sensitive type" or I would not have dreamed of 
deeming you foppish!  :)  I am an ex punk chick who had a horrible car 
accident and suffers difficulties so I like "colourful personalities" but NOT 
when they are egotists.

I shall go back and read Xanadu, and in preparation for an article on 
"Hypertext Today" (Not the Title but a working title), I will be researching 
everything else and everyone else that is not HIDDEN as unfortunately a part 
of a program was, from my view...this does not mean it will appear 
"tommorrow" as my work since 9.11 living in NYC has been largely political, 
an unfortunate turn, 

Peace,

Liz Mourant
