       At some point I realized that for  me the Internet is first of all
       a  collection of  texts.  Since  the net  has  been enriched  with
       graphics, images, video  etc, it has not  become less interesting,
       but it has lost its innocence.   A certain amateurish charm of the
       early days is gone. When I discovered the Internet, the World Wide
       Web was already established and  Gopher was history. Back in those
       days I didn't  even know of its existence.  Today, however, Gopher
       strikes me as  a refuge for texts  that want to be  public, but do
       not like to be exposed  in a commercialized neighborhood. I'm glad
       to see that I am not alone.
