Not sure if gopher is the right fit.


In the post-JavaScript apocalyptic nightmare, the few remaining working terminals will be green-on-black CRTs with nuclear launch instructions burned in the screens. Gopher is a good fit.


> green-on-black CRTs

Any source for something like this that is usable on a modern computer? I did a bit of eBay-ing and everything was ancient/incompatible and megabucks.


Will we be able to install Node on those?
