Computers are fine, but sitting in the comfort of my family-room in my favorite chair, watching picture in picture and FReeping at the same time on a LARGE TV screen is the best of both worlds. I love my WEB TV.
I don't like the new format.

I'm kind of surprised it doesn't work well in WebTV, since it works quite well in Lynx (text-only web browser).
Then again WebTV is now a Microsoft product... :-P

I don't care for it either... I've played around with it but it looks too much like the MSN web site and too much like the web forums elsewhere, which I seldom visit because this one was so much more practical and straight-forward and didn't have the annoying prettified commercial look everyone else uses. Before, we could get a better feel for the news events of the day without all the graphics taking up room, even if a few of the threads were about cheese or one member's not-so-signi. This one isolates us from the whole body of the members since there is no general overview... we're stuck with just a few comments at a time and you can't get a grip on everyone's concerns like you could with the multitude of threads and replies running, nor as broad impression of worldwide news trends in a glance. This layout makes everything seem disjointed, as if each news piece is occuring independent from other events.

Is this working on web tv yet? I need a heads up so I can help my mother with it.
