Mentioned in: Watched the very interesting “Solid State” from Twin Cities Pubic Television, a history of tech in MN. Did not know that Gopher, the pre-http web access software was called that because it came out of the U of M. Also got to see my old employer, Control Data, go bankrupt again. https://t.co/BmDac3xS0K
