With a Prism VTX5000 modem, yes. Although there was the small problem
of having 40-column text but the colour only being 32 columns wide due
to the hardware limitations, and some bugs in the ROM software (I seem
to recall having to press BREAK then RUN the program again when first
loading it up, but I only ever used it twice).

I'm sure there is, I seem to recall YouTube videos with comments
turned off. Although I've said before that my memory's quite rubbish.
