I just found a bunch of older screenshots from Gopher on OS/2:

(Obviously ran in a VM, because it already shows my Gopher hole. I don't have a real installation of OS/2 anymore.)

I suspect that most of us here are relatively young and have not seen the real Gopher in action back in the day. I only barely remember it myself. If I remember correctly, there also was some program on OS/2 that actually displayed Gopher resources in a tree-like way, like a distributed file system -- not like "web pages" as is common today. Either way, Gopher in 2020 is mostly used by uber-nerds in black terminal emulators, but it used to be accessed by "normal" pre-installed GUI programs, which suddenly makes it feel much less "alien". (Not sure if I get my point across.)

Have any of you actually used Gopher back in the day? And were you old enough to have "proper" memories of it? :)

Just for fun, I dug up Mosaic today. Still works for Gopher:

But you're out of luck when it comes to HTTP, because there basically is no HTTP anymore in 2020. Pretty much everything is HTTPS.
