Outdated in the sense that a protocol/technology has been replaced by a
better technology. When one should really need a gopher-like functionality
I would use HTTP and a browser like Lynx or w3m. They offer the same functionality.
But this discussion is only of academic interest. So this might be the last message
in this thread :-)
