Gopher is still alive

[ad...@reviews.wox.org]

This is probably no surprise so some of you, but if you fee
nostalgia for simpler times, gopher is still alive.. sorta.

From the web:
http://gophervista.benjojo.co.uk

From the console lynx still supports it, example:
lynx gopher.meulie.net

The gophervista database, much like the altavista that
spawned it is rather out of date however.   I was able to
find some old 2600 related material int he search cache, 
but the actual documents seem to have gone missing after 2017

--
New and improved 2600... well.. ..we drew on some flames and polished it a bit..
--
Google - making sure, life is no more, than 1984...

Bill Gates: 640k is more than enough for anybody
PC guy down the road: You will never fill that 10mb Hard disk mate
Abbott/Turnbull: 25Mbps is "more than enough" for the average Australian household.
Turnbull: Actually 10MBs is enough for the average household really.
Abbott/Turnbull: It is cheaper to put in FTTN, you get up to 24mbs/down and 256k up.. we can upgrade it more later...

Joseph Goebbels: If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal
enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.

That should have read
"This is probably no surprise no some of you, but if you fee

Downside of being interrupted by a phone call in the middle
of typing. :/
