Quite interesting. That article didn't mention the IBM BookManager
Library Reader for Windows which defaults to blue (without
underline) for link text in the last release. That release shows a
copyright year of 1994 in the "About" window; I don't know where
to find earlier versions but it might turn out to be among the
earlier blue-hyperlink adopters.
