| Welcome to gopherspace. | |
| Isn't it exciting? It's a trip back in time. Welcome to your past. | |
| Alright, so you want to know what this is? Well, gopher is an | |
| old protocol that was designed to easily allow the share of information | |
| and files over the Internet. It contains hypertext menus that allow | |
| quick and easy navigation of gopherspace. | |
| This protocol predated the web as we know it (HTML), but is still | |
| alive today. | |
| So what's the point of it? Well, It's very easy to make a | |
| gopherspace; they are more like FTP sites, although that doesn't mean | |
| that the only thing a gopherspace can be is a collection of files. It | |
| can also display information in menus which gives us an amalgamation of | |
| both technologies. | |
