It may be text only, but wasn’t teletext? Well, I know it incorporated some primitive artwork, but wasn’t the text the bit you were interested in? No? Forget it.

Anyway, with Teletext all but dead now –I believe a small percentage of the UK still have access to digital signals– I thought it an appropriate time to repost this. The top half relates to teletext-specific landmarks whilst the lower portion outlines related technology in other areas such as video gaming and computing development.
