| # 22:16:07 | sh4rm4 | y_morin, you're around ? |
| # 22:16:17 | y_morin | sh4rm4: yep |
| # 22:16:34 | sh4rm4 | when i was in france ~ 1995, most ppl had some mini computer for telephony |
| # 22:16:47 | sh4rm4 | can't remember its name |
| # 22:17:02 | y_morin | sh4rm4: minitel? |
| # 22:17:06 | sh4rm4 | iirc it was used as a telephone book |
| # 22:17:13 | y_morin | sh4rm4: minitel! |
| # 22:17:35 | sh4rm4 | possible ;) |
| # 22:17:42 | y_morin | sh4rm4: it was not a computer, it was merely a terminal. |
| # 22:17:48 | sh4rm4 | ah ok |
| # 22:17:52 | sh4rm4 | is it still in use ? |
| # 22:18:42 | y_morin | sh4rm4: it's still in use, but not in homes (or very, very few). It's basically used by some professional |
| # 22:19:14 | y_morin | eg. some services are only accessible through it. |
| # 22:19:18 | y_morin | Why the question? |
| # 22:19:38 | sh4rm4 | i just look on the website of proxad.net |
| # 22:19:51 | sh4rm4 | they have some special router device |
| # 22:20:07 | sh4rm4 | this made me remember the special telephone computer the french ppl used |
| # 22:20:46 | y_morin | sh4rm4: oh yers, proxad made almost all of its money by being the home to many minitel services. Essentially what we called 'minitel rose' (pink minitel, you know what it means! ;-) ) |
| # 22:21:04 | sh4rm4 | heh |
| # 22:21:20 | y_morin | sh4rm4: are you speaking about the 'freebox' ? |
| # 22:21:29 | sh4rm4 | yeah |
| # 22:21:42 | sh4rm4 | with "1337" on the front :) |
| # 22:22:21 | y_morin | sh4rm4: yes! 'Free' is the brand by which they offer ADSL. They have a reputation to target geeks. |
| # 22:22:50 | sh4rm4 | do you know what they charge ? |
| # 22:23:23 | sh4rm4 | i'm eventually moving to france in a couple of weeks |
| # 22:23:42 | y_morin | sh4rm4: Yeah? Where will you be living? |
| # 22:23:53 | sh4rm4 | dunno yet :) |
| # 22:24:05 | sh4rm4 | in a place that suits me... |
| # 22:24:18 | sh4rm4 | maybe in port de bouc near marseille |
| # 22:24:31 | y_morin | sh4rm4: Oh, south of France. |
| # 22:24:32 | sh4rm4 | was there this year, it was relatively nice |
| # 22:24:40 | kos_tom | quits : Remote host closed the connection |
| # 22:25:30 | sh4rm4 | the only thing that frightens me are the nuclear reactors everywhere |
| # 22:25:41 | sh4rm4 | and the lax laws on gene food |
| # 23:12:43 | y_morin | quits : Quit: Sleepy... |
| # 23:51:25 | snappy | this minitel stuff looks fairly oldschool |
| # 23:52:07 | snappy | not sure why you'd run legacy products, Australia does the same with teletex |
