[edit] If you use the original World Wide Web program

I have found a reference for a slightly different version of the quote here:

http://web.archive.org/web/20050831085206/http://www.w3journal.com/3/s1.interview.html

This is the text:

"If you use the original World Wide Web program, you never see a URL or have to deal with HTML. You're presented with the raw information. You then input more information. So you are linking information to information--like using a word processor. That was a surprise to me--that people were prepared to painstakingly write HTML."

What about updating the main article, leaving just "That was a surprise to me--that people were prepared to painstakingly write HTML."? That seems the more interesting bit. User:Baravalle 12:48, 11 Apr 2007 (WEST)

I'd be inclined to change the text to the version that's actually cited, as that quote currently stands as 'attributed', i.e. "has had Chinese whispers played with it". Might want to wait until the original page gets over their 'copyright issue' and gets the content back, though---going via archive.org in this case is probably bad form.--152.78.61.191 13:45, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
