The recently released ZX Spectrum NEXT, an upgrade to the veritable ZX Spectrum platform of the 80's, has contemporary new-school Teletext capabilities:

I'm yet to enable it on my ZXSpectrumNext yet (too much fun playing old - and NEW! - games) but its on my list for the next few weeks.

There is also a thriving BBS community based around the ZXSpectrumNext .. everything old is new again, and we seem to be at a point in the road where anachronistic computing may soon give rise to an entirely new user platform ..

I like what they have done with the NEXT, but unfortunately I have no nostalgia for ZX Spectrums, I grew up in a BBC Micro household. I do have a +2 in my collection here, but I rarely use it.

The NEXT is capable of running other system cores, such as the BBC Micro. I was an Oric Atmos fan in the day, for me its quaint to be dealing with Speccie stuff now, but as soon as the Atmos core is ready I'll be booting that too ..
