I use gopher on my smartphone and on my MacBook Pro because gopher is
faster and streamlined; I also occasionally use WAPedia instead of
Wikipedia on my Powerbook for the same reason---it is faster (although
I'd welcome a Wikipedia mirror on Gopher). I truly believe that
Gopher is the mobile internet of the future for informational sites
(as opposed to social networking.
