Was on People Connection with Jeff. He got this video and said the SuperQ menus are there!!!
I got "The connection with the server was reset" It's hard to get the good video of this from there. If you can get the link to work.

It only shows the People Connection menus not SuperQ. It looks like that video was made before SuperQ. At the start of the video it tells the "Date: 01/08/87"

That's a mighty strange looking Commodore computer in that photograph. It almost looks like a PC from the 80's. Hrm.

That was a great episode! Thanks for that link, Mike!
I have to say, QuantumLink just blew away all the other services shown on that program. It was a distinct advantage to use the graphics capability and local intelligence of the Commodore system. All the other online services had to stick with text, or at best, ANSI graphics.
Good stuff.

I saved 3 screens from that Video of Q-Link. I used my bothers web space to save them to. It's to bad they did not show SuperQ!
