Today I created a simple gophermap file.
I thought it would be straightforward,
and maybe it is for most people,
but it took me a few tries.

For example, the sample gophermap file
I was copying it said !title is
a menu title to use on the first line.
So in my first attempt, I typed !titleSomeText.
Trial and error, hopping back and forth
between Link browser and my gopherhole
finally teased out the truth.

I still have a way to go in exploring
and understanding the idosyncracies
and promises of this strange world.

Back in the day, I went from CP/M and
fidonet bulletin board services
directly to the early www.

Technologically I skipped //gopher.
This is me retracing my steps
to see what I missed.
