You copied that binary right? I think from a historical perspective that would be important to preserve...

>> WorldWideWeb_0.1.0.tar Aren't they these? There's a missing leading 0. http://browsers.evolt.org/archive/worldwideweb/NeXT/WorldWideWeb_1.0.tar.gz http://browsers.evolt.org/archive/worldwideweb/NeXT/WorldWid...

  The leading "0." is kind of the point of the whole article ;)

    The article is misleading, sort of, probably not intentionally. But if you look at the screenshots of the files, they are actually _1.0 and _2.0, but also there's a _0.16 – which is the earliest one he got running. That's available in links up the thread – still a very cool thing to find in the wild.

      I'm the author of the original article and it's not my intention to be misleading. This happened to me a few years ago and the few pictures I got are actually quite blurry. My friends, though geeks, were sort of feed up with me and that machine and wanting to document it. I distinctly remember the version numbers I played with starting with a 0 and I remember 0.1 or 0_1 and 0.2 or 0_2 and that the first one I tried, the earliest, didn't work. Oh, how I wish I had that computer.

Looking at the file listing in the terminal in the photo (0_16, 1_0, 2_01), it looks like it's the exact same files as can be found here http://browsers.evolt.org/browsers/archive/worldwideweb/NeXT/ http://browsers.evolt.org/browsers/archive/worldwideweb/NeXT...

  Yep, and it turns out according to the README it's the editor, which is still cool. > WorldWideWeb_0.16.tar.Z is the only wysiwyg hypertext editor for the NeXT.

What makes us think that Tim Berners-Lee isn't meticulous about keeping good archival backups of his early work?

No, I had no way of extracting any information from that machine. And also, the last time I had access to that machine, it wouldn't turn on. The reason was actually simple and solvable so I was just sad I couldn't play again with it and relieved that nobody could break it (software wise).
