I just spent the better half of the afternoon browsing two archives right from the 90s on Gopher :-) gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/archive/userserve-ucsd-edu is a mirror of the original Gopherspace of the University of San Diego sometime late 90s. gopher://floodgap.com/1/archive/info-mac is a mirror of the original Info-Mac service, which used to be the big place for Macintosh files during the 80's and 90's. Both are interesting to browse through and contain everything from shareware to text files. I found quite a few things that I'm now going to look into. While System 7 gets more and more left behind in terms of the web, it isn't with Gopher. Go Gopher. Grab a client and pay the above archives a visit! And please post if you know any other Macintosh archive in Gopher :-) |

You mean gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/archive/userserve-ucsd-edu and gopher://floodgap.com/1/archive/info-mac Always need that itemtype! I was glad to preserve userserve.ucsd.edu. That was a little SE/30 sitting in a cage in the service area in AP&M B337. Managed to mirror it before they took it offline and was always so thankful I did. And don't forget gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/archive/umich-archive-mac

Good one, thanks! I've corrected the links above. Haven't made it to the UMich mirror - yet! Sounds like a plan for tonight. And a special applause for you to saving the UCSD archive! So many of them have been lost, unfortunately :-( I also have another idea / request - I'll PM you about it!
