| OK- Here is a crazy idea (which frankly has nothing much to do with ACT
| but does address the question of Internet and standards):
|
| As an example of Bill's point, Dan Ling showed me this morning that
| Satan (the new internet " daemon :-)) actually uses HTML as a user
| interface. Other software may begin to do this. It's easy. It produces a
| reasonable looking machine independent UI rather quickly. It's dangerous
| from our perspective of wanting to make and preserve valuable standards.
| There are plenty of other examples.
|
| ..
|
| So here's the idea: make Windows the standard interactive application
| interface for the Internet.
