Javilk is right. Hypertext was around in 85 or so. Apple had the stuff, but
it was single-machine based. I remember we sat around and talked about it,
but we couldn't figure out how to make a profit with it. No one realized the
potential of making a hypercard stack that was accessible via multiple
machines. So the web could have started earlier and we'd all be complaining
that Apple is too big and that an anti-trust suit should be brought against
them.
But oh, well...
