To whom it may concern, and Ted Nelson:
I just downloaded CosmicBook and fired up the welcome. My first impression was ... disappointment, because the links didn't work. It was only because I persisted (with an assumption that you would not put something completely non-functional out there) that I discovered that the directions were faulty. "What directions?" (I imagine) you say?
"Hi. Click on the blue text to follow links."
Guess what. Clicking on the links doesn't work. You have to double-click. As much as Ted wishes it were not the case, because of the web, the public has gotten used to clicking once on a link to "go". While I'm guessing that you have a reason for using a double-click instead of a single click (and I would kinda like to know that reason, in case you feel like responding to this), you should realize that you ought to bend over backwards to point out that your links require a double click (and good luck selling that to people who have trouble executing a double-click.)
Good luck in all your endeavors, especially this one,
James Smith
(no credentials to speak of, but I share the dream, if not the cantankerousness)
