WebTV was fun. I bought one in August 1996 and was on the internet for two days straight. I could not believe what was out there. Yahoo was a very ugly and primitive site back then with a deathly grey background. After a few months I bought a Compaq computer I thought was extra cool because it had a 100mb zip-drive slot in the front.
Two years later I bought one assembled for me with a 10 gigabyte IBM hard drive which was top of the line. After that I built my own, mostly with NewEgg components.
Apple TV is the pinnacle. What I dreamed WebTV would be.
