  And, it is probably worth to mention that NLS had a storage
sub-system called Journal.  That Journal is more like a mix of our
Journal and "Journal publication", but if you read the paper, you see
the relevance:

  In the big demo, there is a segment where he seemed to try to revert
to an old version.  The movie is much earlier than the paper, and I
don't know the detail of these differences; but it is fun to see that
the old system had some interesting ideas...
