After years as the master gopher, the once great gopher.tc.umn.edu seems to have gone to the great Gopherhole in the sky, and Gopher seems no longer officially supported by the institution that created it (University of Minnesota). From the new generation of Gopher wranglers, we'd like to have a moment of silence for the Gopher masters and the founders of Gopherspace, as it was a nice ride while it lasted. Who knows where this classic technology will lead tomorrow? -- Cameron Kaiser .
