So I was flipping through the 1986 April/ May issue of #Commodore Power Play.

Page 70 and 71 cover a #Teletext like service in the States called X*Press.

I know our European Fedizens enjoyed this service for several decades but I had no idea we ever had a service like this in the U.S.

Does anyone have any info, memories or interesting stories pertaining to X*Press?
