Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Second sight Just look at how fast these pages load, even on a regular old modem! Experiment with how effortlessly you can move from article to article, cut and copy text, email links to friends, or use the data in any way you like. No frames, no JavaScript, no special applets to download. No tracing your pathway, no spy programs nested on to your hard drive, no compliance-inducing interface designed to pull your finger towards the "buy" button. Experience this lightning-fast, user-friendly world for yourself. Then you'll understand what it is people like me have been complaining about for the past five years. This simple, open and accessible information architecture is the closest you can get today to the internet that those of us who were online in the early 90s keep talking about.

We merely have a very clear recollection of how much better early web interfaces served the needs of students, researchers and anyone looking for some information.
