Does anyone use Gopher or is kio_gopher more like some kind of nerdfun? ;-)

There are a few gopher enthusiasts still out there that painfully refuse to let the protocol die; but the same could be said about any old protocols... anyone remember FIDO-net? It's still (barely) alive these days too! :P

Early in its history, KDE had gopher support, but even then the protocol was mostly dead. The protocol is simple though, and easy for open source hackers to have some fun writing kio plugins :) Open source is half motivated by having fun anyway :)
