  2. Sue has built system administration tools using Gopher. As expensive commercial tools encrust more and more junk on the https protocol these kinds of super-simple open-source solutions are going to gain interest.

  3. @zalasur (Before that my claim to fame was an aggregator of other people's human-curated directories of #InternetGopher. For about 15 minutes ca. 1993 my aggregator might have been in the top 100 sites on the internet. These weren't websites - the WWW at that point was basically a demo of a good idea without a lot of content. Gopher also had its own proto-Google search engine, called Veronica.)

  6. Last week @pzriddle sent me some vintage Internet Gopher T-shirts that were apparently cluttering his attic. Now you can see me model these way-too-small shirts with my stomach TOTALLY sucked in so I can't breathe!
    Thanks Prentiss!
