@dervyshe not true! the clickety clack noise is pretty awesome!

[Minitel Research Lab @MinitelResearch]

really awesome project: turn your #minitel terminal into a modern laptop! I would die laughing if a student ever showed up to my class with this!

@DrFurfagMD there's also the story oft told by Michel Landaret of his service Gretel getting hacked by a kid (this one's in english) https://t.co/ZRonmIl6sM

[Minitel Research Lab @MinitelResearch]

@DrFurfagMD very little that I know of, although the Laurent Chemla story is famous https://t.co/tvKCK92mOD

[Minitel Research Lab @MinitelResearch]

almost #minitel related: story of taking my @IUMediaSchool students to see what "the heart of the internet," looks like, including the Big Red 3 supercomputer and massive diesel engines that serve as power back-ups in datacenters https://t.co/2FlGfdAV6T

Fun #Alextel Canadian videotex terminal - you don't see these often! #minitel

[Santo Nucifora 🇨🇦 @MrGoodBits]

@techknight2 @cyberat2600 @CelGenStudios We had something similar to #Minitel in Canada. Meet the Alextel terminal. Similar videotex service but up here in Canada. These are definitely harder to find than Minitel terminals.

[Minitel Research Lab @MinitelResearch]

what a beauty!

[Dbug @DefenceForceOrg]

I keep being impressed by the variety of models of Minitels that existed during the golden era of the system.

That one is obviously designed to go on the oak desk of the serious business executive, in glorious fake wood style! 🌳
