Frank Halasz's "Seven issues" paper first received widespread distribution in the July 1988 Communications of the ACM. It appeared at a time when hypertext and hypermedia systems were receiving widespread attention. In this retrospective, I discuss the role of this paper in supporting and encouraging the broadening of the interests of the research community and its relevance in today's World-Wide-Web-centered milieu.
