50 Years of Ceefax

I loved Ceefax. Once a birthday present of a Ceefax capable TV has been set up, I'd come back home from work every day, and tune in to the latest ramblings on Page 145 - the letters page! In retrospect, this was early training for looking after internet forums. 

The news was also better on Ceefax. Everything was organised by the importance of the story, not whether the TV company had some juicy video. 

Basically, it was brilliant, and I fully support Count Binface's campaign to bring it back.  

The good news is that there are several working versions out there - try this one from Nathan Media Services.
