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. I suspect that in a few years the distinction between a PC and TV will be very blurred. Your mom, or mine, won't even know or care that the TV has a hard drive, a processor, and an I/O device. Similarly, those with a traditional PC would be able to pull up a HDTV program on their screen. The MMI will still be a problem for the converged TV, I agree that an alternative to a mouse and traditional keyboard will be needed.
