I was looking for gopher sites to try out in response to this, and ran into this, which may be of interest: <http://www.tekeeze.com/fun-sites/7-fun-sites-you-can-only-find-on-the-gopher-internet> Evidently the gopher-internet is not at all dead. A little googling reveals that there's a kio tool for konqueror that's supposed to do "gopher", it might be worthwhile to file a feature-request on the KDE bug tracker for this. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
