This one made me feel old. Gopher?! Gopher was "hot" when I started as a student at Tilburg University! I cannot remember the last time I actually stumbled upon an old Gopher server. Man, that brings me back to the times of the demo groups competing to the the c00le5t group out there! Stuff like 64kmovie.exe and such....
