I agree with you that the WebTV users *can* do some things...but they won't...at least most won't. That's why they spent about $175 on the setup and then get a blurry picture from an average TV. They want it to be *easy*. They (most, I'm speaking of), don't care to take the time to learn computer techniques. They want to plug it up and go. Some have hell making a WebTV work, I know one that did. Took him over a year to use a cellphone...and that's just to make a call and answer. He still hasn't figured out how to retrieve his messages from it, and I just gave up and said RTFM. He's a perfect example of what the majority of WebTV'ers are with electronic devices.
