Killer Apps (was Re: How'd it go?

[Ted Nelson <ted@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Killer Apps IMHO--
? file browser
? "zzshell"-- encapsulation of commands to simplify *ix commands
? explorable 2000-year chronology, including various historical
 events and one's own appointments and personal history (I'm
 working on this)
? family tree WITH ADDRESSES AND PHONE NUMBERS of
 the living, dates of birth (and death where applicable), addresses
 where the dead are buried

Others I can't think of at the moment
