- What I was going to say, however, was that in order for hypertext to have the

- multi-disciplinary, environmental-- there needs to be a "material substrate":
- i.e., a physical environment of ubiquitous, networked computers. That network
- in turn gives rise to an "information environment" in which hypertext on a
- large scale makes enormous good sense.

- In addition to the "material substrate" John requires, we should add attitudes
- that value the kinds of interactions hypertext potentially fosters. These
- attitudes may not always exist in corporate environments, or in academic ones
- for that matter.
