Browsers should not be confused with the servers to which they connect you. For example, NCSA Mosaic is a well-known WWW browser. Other WWW browsers include Lynx, Arena, Netscape, and many more. Gopher browsers include TurboGopher, WSGopher, HGopher, and Minuet. Browsers are only half of the Internet equation.
Servers are the other half of the Internet equation.
They provide the information that client programs read. Basically, servers wait for clients to request information. Then they send the information if they have it.

Among the advantages detailed in this chapter is the relative simplicity of using Gopher.
