A Brief Introduction to Gopherspace -- READ ME FIRST! | |
Why is gopher still relevant? | |
"Thinking of it like that, a method of easily serving directories | |
of data, rather than a scaled down web makes the whole thing more | |
appealing I think." -- Rob Sayers | |

** Points to ponder: | |
[We] like to consider the hundreds of interconnected | |
Gopher servers to be one large distributed entity; thus, | |
we speak of "the Gopher", with its many small parts, | |
spread throughout the Internet. The Gopher is always | |
growing, always changing. It's everywhere, but you can't | |
locate it; it's always there, but you can't see it. ... | |
The Gopher is the largest and most practical example of | |
applied pantheism in the history of mankind. | |
