    @[email protected] Minitel was even worse. But then, Minitel was a French exclusivity.

      obligatory quick Sylvqin video (in french though)

      I haven’t known the minitel but I guess that the novelty of BBSes compensated the loading time

        @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] When I was still in school, the Minitel was still used to register us to pass our diplomas. One of the schools I was in even still used an actual Minitel terminal to do so. (Most used a compatibility option integrated in dial-ups modems sold in the country. As did my father a couple of times for other unrelated tasks that couldn’t yet be done via internet, when we first got it at home.)
