Bonjour, hello, please forgive me posting in English but my French is dreadful!
We are very glad to be hosting ‹ Blockparty 2022 › at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge, UK to celebrate the world of Videotex - more information here: Block Party 2022 - 23rd & 24th April - Event Ticket - Computing History
Historically, these events have been more focussed on Teletext services, such as the BBC’s Ceefax service, and about the technologies used to create pages and recover data from video tapes etc. This year we’re expanding it to include online services such as Prestel and Minitel, and I will be bringing my own collection of Prestel and Mnitel terminals, plus highlights from the museum’s collection. I’ll also (hopefully) be demonstrating how these physical terminals can be used to access online services such as https://3615co.de/ and UK Prestel-like services such as Telstar.
I know it’s a bit of a journey to Cambridge, but all of you on this forum would be very welcome to come visit and say hello (or bonjour!).
Tony Jewell (Centre for Computing History)
