Friday Special – Why are Hyperlinks Blue?

What They Say

It’s Friday, so forgive me an indulgence that is only slightly related to displays! I spotted an interesting blog that loos in detail at the key question on everybody’s mind, “Why are hyperlinks blue”. The article looks back to Windows 1 and beyond. I won’t spoil the surprise, but it does go back nearly 30 years.

What We Think

This was a nostalgic look back for me over the different operating system versions and browsers, many of which I used at one time or another. (BR)
