Have you read the Red Sweater chapter in The Friendly Orange Glow? It talks about the origins of PLATO and animations (all done with keyboard trickery)

Yes! I was actually curious if you had access to some of those animations? (Even just the original files.)

Set your cyber1 PTerm app comm preferences to emulate a slow 1200bps connection, then once signed on to cyber1, at Author Mode “choose a lesson” prompt type “anim” for the animations notesfile. The animations only work at PLATO’s slow speed. Most were done 40+ yrs ago!

Fantastic. Looking forward to getting access and checking it all out! (And reading your book! Only started a few first pages and read the relevant bits about the emoticons.)
