>Of course, the tremendous opportunity still awaits in the future, with the PC being the only viable way to connect to the internet for the forseeable future. Hence I'm still interested in getting in at an opportune moment.< Depends on what you mean by foreseeable future. I first connected to the Internet using a DISHNetwork DishPlayer receiver. In some ways it was superior to using a PC, but overall was unsatisfactory. I couldn't even run JavaScript or Shockwave. Soon, DISHNetwork will be releasing their Internet ready 721 receiver. Presumably this will be using DISHNetwork's own analog of WebTV, since DISHNetwork will be doing all the software for it. Hopefully, the 721 will support such features as JavaScript and Shockwave. Even so, I would not consider any desktop box, be it a satellite receiver or gaming console, to be a viable Internet alternative without SVGA output to a real monitor, and that is unlikely to come for at least a year.
