Does Morris still do summer courses for high school kids? I did that twice in 1986/87 which led to my U enrollment (and eventually a spot on the Gopher team).

The computer course was taught on their PDP-11. My first exposure to Unix and C. I made a little curses-based skiing game.

Also had a SciFi/Fantasy course. We spent most of it playing D&D.

There is a gophervr build that runs on current hardware. let me know if you're interested...

Yes, the whole licensing thing was a total fiasco. The interesting thing is that some people actually did pay for it. For example Schlumberger licensed gopher which they installed on oil drills in the amazon connected with VSATs. And of course without licensing we would never had been able to coerce Adam Curry wearing a Gopher T on MTV: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dyxIwy1bW_M
