WebTV has no more cut/paste or other normal PC capabilities than the TV set in your living room. All we can do is look at all the pretty pictures on the internet and participate in typed message forums like this one and we also have e-mail capability with a maximum of six e-mail boxes per account; ie, Dad, Mom, three kids and the old weirdo who lives in the attic can each have their own e-mail address, password, etc. BUT NO MOUSE, NO CUT, NO PASTE, NO SAVE, NO PRINT. And that is why it only costs about $330 and no software to buy. To be fair, printing is a planned addition for whenever they get it ready; of course then a printer purchase looms. Using an automobile analogy, WebTV is a brand new basic car with a 4-cylinder motor, std tranny and an AM radio period. It'll look nice and get you where you're going but it's a no frills trip. I certainly hope this is the last post about WebTV for any reason other than as an investment.
