Hi, Lured out of lurking. > Gemini isn't just about it's privacy-by-default and it's simplicity, > the community is the real thing that makes it good. First line of Basic in 1980 on zx-80, various now ancient machines when RAM was GBP100 per Mb and a good deal at that price:-) BBS @ 1200 baud - paying for browsers - [way back machine snapshot from 2001 Apr](https://web.archive.org/web/20010423023019/http://neilt.org/). And yes I **still** miss BeOS! I very much like gemini - the way the web could have gone - lightweight markup source (like markdown, or similar) delivered to browsers that managed the formatting. Just think of all the bandwidth we'd all have if the web worked like that lol. I find that .gmi pages translate well to .md for mobile first on web - so I've sorta gone away from inline images. It's rightly more about the information and exchanging ideas rather than fancy formatting for me. I would to have more markdown (*italics*, **bold**, ***and this***) but i also enjoy the discipline necessary to write .gmi with it's limited formatting. If .gmi stays as it is - still good.
