The link below was posted on SDF.org's bboard.  It's a paper/memoir by
Robert Al berti that discusses "The Rise and Fall of Gopher" based on his
experiences at the U o f MN.  Pretty interesting read and it has some
great graphics, including a pic of Adam Curry of MTV fame wearing a Gopher
T-shirt (someone should definitely print up some of
 those for people on this list!).

Why he didn't make it available on his SDF gopherspace I've no clue, but
I took the liberty of making it available in both PDF and plain text:
