Gopher is feedom.  Freedom from marketing, freedom from graphics and 
movies and talking.  Freedom from the cyber megalopolis that is the world 
wide web.  Gopher is low power green information, Gopher makes you use 
words to express yourself.  Oh sure you can download pictures and other 
files.  But in the gopherspace text is king.  I love the quiet of 
Gopherspace, I love the imagination that it lets me use.  Today, in a 
world of video games, porn, and movies that leave nothing to the 
imagination, Gopher gives it all back.  I wish more people knew how much 
better their own minds eye is than any super computer rendered CG 
animation.  Thank you Gopher, you are freedom.
