- dalke 13y agoWho needs gopher when you can just ftp to places and download lists of what they have? And lists of what they know that other people have. Hmm, right. That got tiresome after a bit, so "telnet archie.mcgill.ca" and do an archie search. I remember that by 1992 the index overflowed signed 32 bit int and started giving "-45%" complete. Of course we're not old. Those were the ones who could replace a VAX disk pack, and who had to log in via dedicated terminals instead of dial-up via a PC. :)
