Remember the days when hypertext was thought as a learning tool, so
everyone did an extra effort of
linking words to actual word meanings and sites?

For instance, do you remember when in Web articles one would say

"It allows for the use of networked laser printers like the popular <A

Laserjet</A>, shared on a <A
HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_network">Home Network</A>
using the <A HREF="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBIOS">Netbios</A>
protcol

Of course, it was also abused at the time (like the infamous <BLINK>
tag, but nowadays such informative linking is mostly gone, you can
read articles that are several "web" pages long and there's not a
single link in sight.
