I'm not sure that Xanadu's stealth period was intentional. Maybe only a few people really understood what Nelson was talking about, at least until the Web came along and it was clear that Nelson was really on the right track philosophically. He could've run a superbowl ad every year until 1990 --most people would've shrugged their shoulders and wondered why this crackpot was wasting so much money on a silly piece of performance art!
