There was a very well done article about Ted Nelson in WIRED Magazine a year
ago or more ago which claimed that his XANADU software project was the
longest standing and most expensive vaporware project ever. I don't know if
it is true or not, and I hope that Ted Nelson will be remembered in a
different way than that, but it does seem like a bit of trivia relevant to
your research.
