[ih] Converting the original 1990 WWW proposal from Word for Macintosh 4.0

[Dan York]

I read this story by John Graham-Cummings about his work to convert Tim Berners-Lee's original WWW proposal from Word for Macintosh 4.0 to something newer and thought some folks on this list might find it of interest:

Very interesting to see that LibreOffice had the best converter of apps available today, and also to see the value of emulation environments to be able to use older software.
And also just the constant challenge around document preservation.

Enjoy,
Dan
