There is no real connection between the two but Gopher always makes me think of OS/2 since it was the platform I used Gopher on. There was a free PM Gopher client available which was written by an IBM employee on their own time.

It makes me think of VMS/VAX because I ran a gopher server on a VAX

That's pretty cool. OS/2 needed more of those things, special software benefits of using the OS. It was such a promising platform...I remember being kind of sad to move along. Linux started really getting popular during OS/2's waning days but I'm not sure if OS/2 people really migrated or wanted to migrate in that direction.

  I suspect not too many did. Most probably switched to Windows 9x on the desktop with Windows NT being the next most common choice. On the server side most of my customers used OS/2 for running Communications Server or LAN Server. These were replaced by Windows NT and Windows NT running SNA Server. SNA Server was one of the worst products I have ever had the misfortune to have to support.
