In fact, it is a weird thing that the British Telecom following hyper links together with telephone access patent, I think, was applied for in 1975. I think it was in 1974 that I developed the info package for the first time. The info package allows you to traverse hyper links and people did use telephones to dial up and access the system. So in fact, I produced a piece of prior art for that patent. So that is the second patentable idea I have had in my life, but I don't think I have any proof of that. I didn't think this was interesting enough to publish it. After all, the idea of following hyper links I got from the demo of Engelbart's editor. He is the one who had an idea which was interesting to publish.
