Topic: StarDisc

A serendipitous discovery.

I was checking whether there have recently been any updates on the wikipedia page about telesoftware.

I remembered an idea of mine, from late seventies (so pre-web) of a database from which broadcasters throughout the world could access to then broadcast in their own lands.

I called the database StarDisc. I produced a logo using metal type printed on an Adana 8 x 5 printing machine

It had STAR and DISC on a line, with letters in a similar style to ASCII art, but using metal type, stars for the Word STAR and filled discs for the word DISC.

Thinking it unlikely, I nevertheless searched to check if there was any reference to StarDisc on the web.

Not connected to my idea, but I found the following.
