I feel like we lost a bit of magic the day CEFAX/Teletext was switched off.
I wonder if there it scope for a simpler version of the internet which has the feel of CEFAX, but with more social features.

Ever fancied making your own Ceefax pages? Latest version of my #teletext editor is at github.com/peterkvt80/w...
Release Fixed Explorer file open not working · peterkvt80/wxted
Opening a tti file in Explorer would cause wxTED to allocate all the memory until Windows crashed. Fixed by checking file open status and switching to smart pointers.
