[Web4lib] First library gophers?

[Sloan, Bernie]

Duhh!! Lightbulb slowly brightens!!! :-)

In all my years on the Internet and the Web (and working at a Big Ten
institution the whole time) it never once dawned on me that Gopher was
called Gopher because it was developed at Minnesota.

Embarrassed to admit it...
