Let us not forget those days when Father would come into the drawing
room bringing news of recipes, jokes and stories found on The
Internet, and all the family would gather around... we had Alta Vista,
Lycos, Ask, Excite, InfoSeek (and Google). And before that Grandfather
told us stories of Gopher.
Gopher still works, and I believe is ready for an update soon.
- dekhn 4y agomy dad was a reference librarian and when the WWW first showed up, I tried both gopher and WWW, and concluded the former had no future. My dad was trying to explain that gopher was better. That's when I realized an important transition to my generation had occurred.
