That is good that they have that. Would there be the possibility to change the link you posted to gopher? (Of course, even if you do not have support in your web browser you can still use a external gopher client software. And if you do not have a program you can write one; it isn't so complicated.) Many kind of devices that can connect to internet, with a suitable display and input (a common game pad or numeric pad would be sufficient; a touch screen also works, although I don't like touch screen so much; even one using printed on paper rather than the screen is work), that you should implement gopher. Many web pages they try to do separately mobile or desktop, and even then you will have different configuration, other thing, and can be messy, but gopher does not need those consideration like HTML does, because you can implement that as part of the client implementation rather than by whoever writes the files and puts them on the server; the server does not need to deal with the user presentation. Therefore, the user interface for gopher is better for many kind of devices than HTML does.

Sad that Firefox and other major browser ditched native Gopher support now that there is such an uprising. Ftp had to go as well.

I've been interested in looking into Gopher for a while. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good introduction into Gopher, when you would use it, etc?
