I was not referring to the CHM... I was in the machine room at NASA Ames
in the early 90s, on a private tour with an aquaintance who worked there
(we'd both just been to a VR conference in San Jose).
The machine was plugged in, live, and in use.

P.S. - it was also the day I first used this thing I'd only heard of before,
called "The World Wide Web", via a very early release of Mosaic.
