Just got user email asking whether customers get gopher space. Gopher. GOPHER.

Prithee, wouldst thou care to travel in this miraculous horse-drawn wheel'd conveyance, fair sir?

In their middle ages, I'm sure that question made sense.

Tell them that gopher space is only available on 386s running Windows 3.1

If they want to be able to use their Pentiums running Windows XP, they'll have to settle for web space.

Explain that you understand their disappointment, but there's nothing you can do.

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAH

Hey. my id10Ts wouldn't even know GOPHER.

So? Do they?

[dkfromtk.livejournal.com]

Yeah!

Story's not done until someone gets an answer!

No. No they don't. We shut down the gopher server years ago because the code was as holed as Swiss cheese and no one was maintaining it.

Joel here - It may amuse you to know that I have a CALCULATOR that uses gopher. Someday, I may even use the calculator again.

At the risk of sounding horribly out of everything electronic, I totally thought we were talking about actual, living gophers.
