Gopher is an easy to learn and use interface to the net and global info.
Most of us 147 know what gopher is, if not explore:-) and teach'n share
This makes a great assignment for those learning the net.

HOW TO FIND _OUTPUT MAGAZINE_ VIA GOPHER
First you need to determine if you have a gopher client on your box.
If you are on a unix box try typing the word: gopher
If the program is in your path you will initiate the program.
If it works try to find All the Gophers in the world menu.
An example follows later in this post.
If you do not have a gopher client running you can telnet to several
telnetable gopher clients or install a client.
To Telnet:
Try to locate the site closest to you.
Listed below are the May 1993 list of telnetable clients.

You may also get a client for your box. There are versions for
DOS, Mac, and Unix. There also is a new sharewhare/freeware windows
version but I haven't figured out how to configure it.
ftp boombox.micro.umn.edu to get your client.
Both the Mac and Unix clients are the easiest to use. The Mac clients are
point and click. In the Unix client in VT100 mode, you can use the arrow
keys and then enter (return) to select a menu item (or type in a number).
FEATURE: With the new Unix version you can use Shift-D to directly download
selected files (where the arrow is) to your local hard disk

Also, if you are running on a Unix client you can save bookmarks
