I fell in love with Minitel when visiting France and upon return I had to spend a fortune on my 1200 baud modem to use Archie, usenet, FTP, Kermit, etc in order to upload and download uuencoded files from gopher sites. I sure do miss gopher and the civilized and occasionally erudite banter that went on. As this ars technica puts it, http won but gopher "tunnels" on: http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2009/11/the-web-may-have-won-but-gopher-tunnels-on/
