RIP - Minitel

How France fell out of love with Minitel - Europe - World - The Independent: "At the end of this month, Minitel will finally go offline, ending a brave experiment in French exceptionalism. The surprise is that the network has lasted so long. There are still 810,000 Minitel terminals in France, mostly used by older people who dislike computers. There are still 1,800 services available through Minitel, although most people these days contact them (final indignity) through the internet. "

Not moderated but I do delete spam and I would rather that people not act like assholes.
