How to save teletext?

Wikify it!

I've even made a web-simulation of how awesome it would be!

BTW: To make a new page, just put a random number on the 'go to page' form, and find one that isn't taken.

Health Warning: Requires a browser that supports TTF font downloading, such as Firefox 3.5. Internet Explorer just won't do! I haven't tried Opera or Chrome, so your mileage may vary.

I remember

learning to make teletext pages at school on BBC micros. Having a "lab" with a dozen such machines was a source of great pride for our school back in '84.

edit/ Apologies, forgot to woo! Being able to edit ceefax pages reminded me of learning to make them.

407 next month.

Blimey, it taken me ages to knock up a page on Lumpbucket's simulator, almost as long as it used to take on a BBC B.

I also learnt that valuable skill at school.

As with most of my peers, that skill has landed me a successful career as a teletext editor.
