I wonder what I'd have thought if I'd seen the NeXT browser at the time. I must have been one of the first few thousand WWW users, when I think it was largely providing access to the cernlib docs. At the time, I was working on fairly advanced networked hypermedia (with NeWS). Using line mode browser -- via X.25 then, I guess -- I thought "how primitive", and "haven't they heard of Xanadu?". So much for the important feature, the protocol/naming... I don't remember the reaction to Viola subsequently, but I think I found it before the Mosaic set-back.
