Man, if I had to choose between gopher (not goofer  it's called
gopher because it was developed at the U of Minnesota -- they are the
golden gophers) or the Internet I choose the Internet any day. Speed
isn't an issue with today's high speed connections and security can be
addressed in many ways, both hardware and software. I watched a couple
of Packers press conferences and interviews today plus the NHLs 03/04
Top 10 goals. Couldn't have done that on gopher that well. |

You mean you don't like ASCII pictures? If you check you can find a version
of Star Wars on line in ASCII. It is animated!
I do admitt the new stuff has its uses. |
