The History of JHME

JHME has been available on the Internet since 1996 but started as The Useful Info Magazine which first appeared in 1986 on Micronet, this was on a Videotex service called Prestel which was based in the United Kingdom. We also ran areas including an area on Clubspot.

The Useful Info Magazine was one of the longest running magazines on Micronet, it was available until the close of the Micronet service. There were three or four other long running areas on Micronet and most of these can now be found on the World Wide Web although that do NOT have any connection with Prestel or Micronet.

Prestel is still available but is now no longer part of British Telecom, the New Prestel is now also an service Provider on the Internet.

Post Office Viewdata came into being in the early 70s, this later became known as Prestel. The idea behind Prestel was for it to become a cheap mass information service, very much the same as the internet but on a smaller scale, however Prestel never did become as popular as hoped, although it was very popular with travel agents, money markets.

During the 80s when the home computer market was really taking off a new service became available which was called MICRONET, this was an IP (Information Provider) which leased space on the Prestel Computers.

When Micronet started E-mail or MAILBOX as it was known was not available, however, this did  later become part of the service along with chatlines and Multi User Games such as Shades.
