I've used Ceefax ever since I was a child - for me it's name is synonymous with the BBC.
Even today, when most people turn to the internet to look for any information they need, it makes me happy to know I can turn to Ceefax and find exactly what I want in eight glorious colours.
If you're a Mac user, you can view today's Ceefax on your desktop at any time by using my Ceefax Viewer dashboard widget: http://www.gingerbeardman.com/ceefaxviewer/
I'd like to see the BBC continue to support Ceefax, perhaps even including a live feed on their site.

Cheesy. but i like it :D
Instead of going forward you gone back but its still new.
Intresting :P
About time they re-did cefax also coz it looks crap :P
Hehe - nice mockup, but you're not really suggesting this for the BBC homepage???
Frankie, yes I am suggesting exactly that. :)
Of course, I'm a realist so I know it will never happen. I just wanted to remind a few people about Ceefax and how it is still a very useful service.
hey matt awesome retro style! :D
i had to chuckle a bit tho, but nonetheless i get your point. did you ever try rss feeds on internet sites? its like like ceefax but with more...colors? :)
Why would you need subtitling on the internet?
If you have hearing problems silly!
