University of Minnesota. We used to be quite impressive in the computer
sciences in the old days, but nowadays, well, everyone is impressive
what with the price of hardware these days... I still miss all the
big CDC mainframes though.
The last real impressive software we developed was Gopher. I can still
remember when any sane person had realized Gopher was dead, I asked
why they were still holding these yearly Gopher conferences, and the
guys started gushing about "3D Gopher" that was going to be all the rage.
And yes it sounded as absurd to me then as it does in hindsight today.
