This is excellent. I'm working on Book III of my series (https://www.albertcory.io https://www.albertcory.io) which takes place in the 90's, and I really want to have one of the characters dive into the pre-Web online world. Prodigy was definitely a part of that.
If you think this stuff is old: the Computer History Museum (Mountain View) has IBM 1401s that work! https://computerhistory.org/exhibits/ibm1401/ https://computerhistory.org/exhibits/ibm1401/
Big Iron, for sure.
- pheller 4y agoI hope the Computer History Museum will consider an interactive exhibit of early online services someday when the Prodigy, AOL, CompuServe, and other service recreations are more complete.
- AlbertCory 4y agoThat would indeed be interesting. As would some working Minitels.
- agalunar 4y ago> the Computer History Museum has an IBM 1401 And a working PDP-1, which I'd highly recommend visiting. You can listen to some of the earliest computer music and play Spacewar!, the first video game to share or sell more than a single copy (as it were).
