• "Slow display adds to the suspense," by James
At a turning point in my student life, changing lanes. I left a technical track which I beard and directs me to a school of computer graphics. I pass the competition. A month later, the day the results. These were available on the Minitel.
The slow display adds to the suspense. I arrive on the letter S, the letter of my name. Only four or five names per page. The first I see only one name and had not received the other. Next, none received. Next ... stop my breathing and my throat is blocked. Next to my name is written "accepted". My life changed at that time. Thank you, my little Minitel. I did all the curriculum of this school, four years and got out of my promotion staff. I worked for over ten years in film.

But is that it fascinates me, me, the lines that appear in unfolding before my eyes. Suddenly, the info you wanted! As a treasure. Fortunately, the Minitel was still working on entering in college: he will give me the good news of the tray. I laughed when my younger sister had to download an application on his iPhone to get the results of the French tank.
