On the Web homepage now mirrored at <http://w3.infologie.co/www/TheProject.html> there is a link, "why the W's are green", pointing to <http://www.cern.ch/CERN/People/Robert/PersonalData.html#GreenWs>, which is now offline. Presumably it explains the colour choice in the Web project's logo. (<http://w3.infologie.co/www/Icons/WWW/WWWlogo.gif>)

Unfortunately the link is now broken, and I can't find a copy of the document it may once have pointed to in CERN's AFS.

So: Why *are* the Ws green? Does anyone know where this document might be found?
