Thanks for sending me the Mulholland response. Very sharp, especially the
perception about the user interface being part of the text, which I first
learned from John McDaid but it bears repeating. He's also got something
there about the delay in server response being part of the link experience:
and I'd like to see what else he's thinking along those lines. Apparently
Jim Rosenberg has written a very brilliant paper for the Hypertext
conference about the "content" of links, though I haven't managed to find a
copy yet.
Concerning the "modernity" of things like VG and afternoon and Quibbling, I
have to agree with Mulholland (and Espen Aarseth) -- it if looks like a
novel and has pages like a novel, it's probably by somebody called Joyce.
Anyway, thanks for sending the message.
Stuart
