- Gopher also has the image of burrowing through the Internet in search of
- information. I rather like that picture and don't mind the name a bit.
- Gopher is not IMHO intended for the techies out there who already know
- how to get anyplace they want on the Internet. It is for novices who
- are definitely intimidated by computerese. The point is we are getting
- them onto the Internet finding the information they need. That's the bottom
- line.
