Just heard this mentioned on the Times pod, ah memories.

Demanded a high level of patience when you were waiting for page 7/7 & it was on 1/7.

Do you mean page 312? 302 was the Football home screen, 312 was 'News in Brief'. Fond memories, although I seem to remember is was more like 18 pages to (very slowly) plough through!

That's right CC, how many hours did I spend on that hoping for us to have signed Shearer or Ferdinand. 340 was popular during the summer!

Indeed! When we got our new telly with a memory buffer it was great. Just one sweep past a multi page and all the pages were held in memory to browse at your leisure!

Anyone remember Prestel?!! Now that was expensive and slowwwwww.
