I am not saying GMST does not win. I think it is great. I am just saying that because AOL has millions of (PC) users does not mean that they are going to trash the PC for AOLTV. WEB TV and AOLTV are great for those that have computer phobia, like dear old Mom. She likes her WEB TV, likes email, but wants no part of anything having a hard drive or that is called a computer. I found the navigating around the screen with the wireless keyboard cumbersome. Hope AOL's has a mouse. The two other WEBTV users I know graduated to PCs. I know of none that went the other way, Not saying some don't, I just don't know any. I think AOL will have an advantage due to the name they have built up and others wanting in on that, whereas WEBTV gets you internet access but does not have the AOL friendlyness of use. And I see it all as positive for the Gem. William
