Hey everybody, I'm returning to this old (2 years?!) post to report that I finally developed this a little further by implementing a very basic shopping cart system for my frstcomputer.com gopher hole using PHP. If anyone here is still interested in the concept of a functional order-taking system for gopher, maybe give it a try? I do still have a few stickers. (but also... Plan 9 Cyberdecks)

Ok, y'all. I've really appreciated all the early feedback on this, and it's gotten me inspired to keep the momentum going on this thing by getting just a few (30 total) stickers printed up for our gopher community to try this out. As part of a bigger thing I'm doing, (phlog post explaining the whole thing a little better forthcoming...) I've posted a page for checking out these stickers and providing a means to move forward testing some of what's been discussed here -- send me an email w/ PayPal, or send me a SASE w/ $2, etc... Given the small number, (a test batch I hope will sell right out. ;)) go ahead and send an to [email protected] to reserve a spot -- first come, first...

This is really encouraging, thanks! Yeah, this is really what I've been thinking, too. Was thinking about stickers and even T-shirts... Wanted to get them printed at a local shop, too -- seemed especially appropriate.

(btw, @wgs, I hope you don't mind my using your proxy.... I couldn't figure out the best way to share the plain gopher:// link. Lemmy seemed to be struggling with it...)

Also thinking about this for slightly larger-ticket items... not unlike that sweet 1802 kit of yours, actually. :)
