I did not notice that. I thought it is worth sharing. Anyways, Thank you for showing the link. Is there any way I can check if it is published before?

Not sure how a 2011 article can be a copy of a 2014 article.

Edit: especially since the 2014 article links back to this one in the paragraph:

I tried running a program originally written for 80386-class CPUs on a Core i7, it didn't magically get a intuitive GUI. Weird.

The link to the YouTube video of "The Mother of All Demos" is dead. I found another one here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJDv-zdhzMY
