Why Gopher? 
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Gopher is simple. Written in plain text, Gopher is quick and easy to
set up and use. There’s less to go wrong and when something does,
it's relatively easy to resolve.

Gopher is efficient. Created in an era of limited system and network
resources, it had to be. With today's resources, Gopher is a wickedly
fast document delivery system.

Gopher is non-commercial. Created for institutional purposes, it doesn't
lend itself well to advertising, user-tracking, data-harvesting, and
other forms of online commerce.
