A gopher client for Palm OS

Crikey, Gopher

Theres a flashback !

I have just been having a think and realise that I got my first 'internet connection' at home in 1994 and regularly used webcrawler and Gopher with a text display using a 300 baud Honeywell modem to dial up Lancaster Uni and play MUD and download interesting stuff. It was a bit like fishing, searching for something then getting a bite and settling back to reel it in before you could actually see if you had a worthwhile catch.

Must have been one of the first 'normal' people to get on in the UK thanks to a professor friend who lent me his dialup details and gave me a login and password to the uni system :)


How time has flown.
