Ah yes, I also remember Teletext!
It’s still a thing. I gotta listen to my granddad regularly that he wishes the internet was more like the teletext.
He has a point
Show him w3m in the terminal lol
Remember tuning to the right page number and then having the screen flick over right when you arrived so you'd have to sit there for 5 minutes waiting for it to scroll round again? If the internet work like that we'd all have a lot more patience with each other.
My mother sent me a screenshot from teletext the other day.
