Back in the early 2000's I Loved my Web-TV. I had a computer that had a now considered tiny 13" black and white fat and wide monitor. So when I got my first Web-TV it was so cool!
I couldn't wait till everyone went to bed and take over the TV, so I could surf the Ole Inter Web on my then now considered tiny color 32" fat and thick TV. I could lay on the couch put a thin pillow on my chest to rest the keyboard on and surf away.
That was so cool. And that's how I found this forum (and others) and bought a ton of stuff off eCrud and wore the Post Office out, buying Momey Orders, long before PayPoo.
I kept it about 3-4 years and they came out with Web-TV II. That had a printer port. BUT, I never could get the II version to act right. Took it back twice and called the 1-800 number several times. But never got one to act right. And finally gave up and went got my money back from Circuit City. I Was Sad.
But in about 2006 I bought a desk top Gateway Computer package with a then (i thought?) high tech COLOR 19" ultra thin flat screen monitor and matching printer. I thought I was hot stuff. I could even print photos! Whoop-eee, but soon learned how costly the ink and the photo quality paper was. Bummer!
Then the Lap Top and tablet revolution soon come about. And everything changed, with WiFi.
I still miss my Web-TV. And when I got the Web-TV II, I gave the number I to a neighbor for his kids. And they kept it 3-4 more years. But I didn't have the heart to ask for it back. And hunted for a New number I. But they had long since been discountinued.
