For all you webTV bashers -
whatever we may think of it, a year ago I could correspond on-line with 5 people in my extended family. Now it is 9, and the additional 4 are all WebTV people. They include my mid-80's aunt and uncle who think a microwave is intimidating, my sister who lived most of her life without even a TV, and 2 older cousins. I enjoy being able to send mail and attachments to these people, and they send electronic greeting cards, musical notes, and other reasonably fun stuff.

All of this talk about screen resolution and capability is elitist. I have 6 workstations and a server in my home, several supporting 1600x1200 3D 32 bit, but there are actually people in this world who can somehow manage with less. Believe it or not, there are people who don't care what a browser is, who still like to be connected. These WebTV posts, started by the ever-faithful Cheryl (who spammed identical messages onto many threads) are pretty silly. Where's your perspective?
