I will get a call from a certain 85 yr old family friend. He and his wife have been using WebTV for years.

I’ve tried to move them to something else, but they have been resistant. ...and it’s not a financial issue. They could buy anything the want. Their WebTV is hooked up to a 60 inch screen in their 3 bedroom lakeview penthouse.

Well, I am MSNTVII, formerly WEBTV.
This is upsetting to me.

Never wanted a ‘real’ computer.
One lame reason is I would watch YouTube and Videos
all day - love to be entertained.
MSNTVII cannot open videos, etc. - yea!!!

Another is I would probably have to do ‘stuff’ for family, and a club I belong to - but have been able to beg off and say ‘I don’t have a ‘real’ computer.’

I receive and send email just fine, and can get sophisticated WEB pages when I use ‘Mobilize’ or something, not remembering at the mo. . .
Rarely ‘Google.’

Have been easily able to comment on Free Republic.

I’m sitting about 3 yards from the TV screen showing me the internet; a small cable box size MSNTVII monitor on top of the set - yep - no flat screen yet - feet up on an ottoman. Comfort.
Not hunched over a Notebook or the like - - -

Yep - truly a sad time for me.
Not looking at all forward to what may come. . .
