  Bad news on your rosy world view, but the real reason for our penitentiary system is to create slave labor.

  Absolutely great work. Never would have even considered a steno.

  I’m just a hair too young to have dealt with gopher in any meaningful way, I went from bbs days to the web. The changes happened while I was in the military and I heard people talk about the web. Thought it was just bbs with some new terms. Played with gopher and Archie, Jughead, and Veronica after I got fat enough in to understand the net just to see what else existed. Really cool to get some historical context on this stuff.
