I wish this stock wouldn't languish so. You would think that such nice earnings would encourage more people to buy. However, the day will come when they wish they had. Fantasy scene: guy calls his broker for some Go2Net stock, broker says ok, puts in the order, and...CAN'T GET ANY! HAHAHAHAHA!

I've never seen WebTV except at various demos. It uses some really nifty technology to try to make web sites more readable on a TV, but they're stuck with "monitors" that have truly dreadful resolution. Anyone looking at their computer screen right now is probably seeing this page at a resolution of at least 640 X 480. Your TV set, on the other hand, has a resolution of (if I remember my Amiga NTSC days correctly) 640 X 400, and even that is accomplished only by running two different scans on a real resolution of 320 X 400 (which causes noticeable flicker on a non-mobile image). The TV is a bad appliance to replace a computer. It isn't made for that purpose. Some folks will make do, but not many. That's exactly why WebTV has de-emphasized the Web part to concentrate more on TV add-on services.
