$100 alternative to a $1000 computer
By Charles Barb (cebjr@webtv.net)
I have used WebTV for two years, several hours daily, and I remain impressed with its sensible design and ease of use. I prefer it to other computer-based internet services that I have. It has most everything most people want in an internet connection: email, newsgroups and web browsing -- and no hastle with computer software and its constant upgrading (you receive periodic free upgrades automatically over the internet). You do have the added monthly expense of a subscription to the WebTV network that serves as your ISP. You need a standard telephone line connection, it can be an extension on your family line -- you probably won't need a new telephone line. Before you buy verify that WebTV offers a local telephone number for your dial-in use so your connection to WebTV won't be a toll call. Note that WebTV uses your telephone to connect to the internet, not through any TV cable service you may have.You will also need a TV with minimally audio and video input sockets. If you are planning to use it for serious email, you will also need a keyboard, either a wireless unit they sell or you can plug a standard computer keyboard into it. With use you may also want to buy a printer adapter and inkjet printer, limited primarily to specific HP printer models.

By ADAM L CHASE
I CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT TO BE, WITHOUT RESERVATION, THE BEST DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR VALUE I'VE ENJOYED IN THE PAST DECADE. IT'S EASE OF SET-UP AND EASE OF USE ARE ONLY MATCHED BY IT'S BROAD SPECTRUM USE. IN OUR HOUSEHOLD IT TOOK ABOUT A WEEK FOR MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TO COMPLETELY ABANDON THE ORIGINAL AOL CONNECTION VIA OUR COMPUTER.I HAVE PURCHASED THREE OF THESE UNITS SO FAR AS GIFTS AND EVERY RECIPIENT SO FAR HAS NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THE WEBTV.ADAM CHASE

If anyone poo-poos webtv classic,tell them to be specific. The only thing they can say of substance is that you can't download. Guess what! It's not a $2,000 computer. It's $150 to buy unit and keyboard! And you won't download a virus! You get full access to the web and it is soooo much easier to use. You can build your own webpage if you are so inclined, and the webtv forum post is full of inside info from people who enjoy helping other webtv'ers. You learn useful info just from reading,you don't have to post to do that. I read all my newspapers and magazines on my webtv classic.Upgrades are done for you! So if you want to enjoy the web and keep your hard earned money in your pocket,get webtvclassic and the keyboard.
