For those with gopher, "Wired" Magazine now has a gopher, new as
of Nov 26 according to the new-gopher list, at wired.com, usual
port (70).
For those without gopher, they have an infobot - for instructions
send email to infobot@wired.com with the word "help" as the text.
"Mother Jones" is supposedly online now also, but something is broken
there.
When Krol wrote his book he said there were about 100 gophers, and at a
bookstore this morning I found a "catalog" of the Internet saying it
lists over 300 gophers. As of a few minutes ago, there have been 902
new gophers listed just since the beginning of October!
