Handheld devices are to become ubiquitous in the not too distant future. I am certain of that. In five or ten years it will be common to only have Internet access on your phone or perhaps some Internet-purposed hand-held terminal. I want to ensure FR is future compatible for this coming age. These devices don't have a lot of screen, memory, CPU or bandwidth, but they're catching on. WebTV is a great place to test such a future compatible site, it's all those things.

Speaking for myself, I really resist that. I need a larger screen and larger type. I really don't like itty-bitty screens and keypads.

My laughter about WEB TV earlier, was due to having a friend with Web TV and had absolulutely no computer skills. But she could see her hilarious emails on her big-screen TV.
TV and computer - no connection in my mind. Recently, I heard a news blip how future TV will be so interactive. See what you want, when you want. Kind of like surfing on the net. Pick and choose, save, watch, etc.
I don't beans about tech stuff!
Here's a little bit I found, though. It's all way over my head!
Good on you though, John Robinson, keeping on top of things!
