@[email protected] France was far ahead of other countries with regards to networking a large fraction of their population, including online shopping. I knew about Minitel in the early 80s (it was mentioned in an educational computer TV show) and was envious.

France was big in Minitel, they even continued the service until 2012.
I remember using the Swiss counterpart "Videotex" with a German BTX adapter cartridge for the Commodore 64.
They all had pretty much the same standard.
@[email protected] @jf_[email protected] I have a new in box version of the Austrian counterpart, still thinking this is the best looking 1980s home computer (which it basically was, but main function was BTX terminal)

That is indeed a beauty.๐
Reminds me of some MSX machines.
