Do you remember Teletext

Do you remember Teletext? Do you still remember some of the page numbers of your favourite information. If so then youll be interested in this Guardian Witness project: Teletext memories: your stories and experiences. Some of this blogs younger readers probably dont even know what Teletext is. Think of it like the Web on your TV before the Web existed. 
Ceefax (in the UK) succumbed to the digital switchover nearly two years ago, but the worlds first teletext service is still remembered fondly by the slightly older TV generation. For 38 years it provided vital information to passionate current affairs readers and sports fans alike.
