I can't believe I remembered the number for
the Northern Ireland regional news page (and its still the same 161)
I think this maybe a remake of another page posted before as it looks slightly different from the last one I remember.
but yeah.. memories.

If it doesn't make you wait for the data carousel to come round after entering a page number I'm not interested - those lah-di-dah fancy TVs with cached pages completely spoiled the magic.

I did a lot of content editing on the school Viewdata system back in the day...
Kind of sad it never translated into a full-time job...

There were numerous dial-up viewdata-based bulletin-board systems (BBSs)
around in the '80s (some even connected together as networks) and were very much a precursor to widespread Internet access that followed in the '90s.
I used to rinse the phone line in the school computer room hanging out on some after classes, live chatting with people, sharing BBC Micro demos, etc.

I was surprised to find that the lad who made that is only 20.
