Talk:Minitel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi. There is a good picture of the first Minitel terminal on this page, but wouldn't it be great if there was successive models shown? How about some screenshots of various services?

Finally, does anyone have more detail technical specs to post?

Thanks.

[edit] minitel

well in this site minitel is described as an object but in fact it is not. I mean it tells people how to make sex i mean that's supposed to be sacred. gd bye everyone

Is it just me or does the above phrase not make sense to anyone else?

Nope, i agree. It made no sence to me at all.

Pretty much. There is no way to decipher that post.

[edit] Peripheral Devices

Did/does the Minitel have any peripheral devices such as printers?

I found some references-

[edit] MINITEL.FR

Clicking on the UK Minitel link in External links, I found this editorial:

[edit] The MINITEL.FR service will close by the end of 2006.

Our customers owning a loaded account will be able to use it to connect to Minitel services until December 31st 2006, when the service will end for good.


Is this true?
