in 1998 we invested in our first WEBTV~ what a dinosaur it was~ slow and the annoying little song it played while using it~ but we crawled onto the internet~ we moved up to a computer. But my Mother in Law (AROUND)80 loves the MSN 2 unit aka Webtv~ this is her third unit and they last an average of about 4 years.

This unit is faster than earlier models but with a dial up connection~ it is NOT a computer but a "receiver' that allows you to
A. get to your email~ all your emails addresses~have a webtv in them but you can also use a computer and retrieve emails via [...]
2. open many types of files varies by the unit and updates~ but photos received for the user to enjoy.
3. enjoy the internet~
BEST feature EASE of use~ My Mother in law did NOT want a computer and can keep up on emails~ look at the internet and was able to use this in about 30 minutes. SHE loves her MSN 2~
** good customer support via WEBTV**
REQUIRES A SUBSCRIPTION~ ABOUT A MONTH FOR SERVICE they have a lower plan but you have *limits* on the time allowed in the lower plan*


what this unit CANNOT do~ on line banking~ lacks ability for huge files~ it is slow compared to a computer~
cannot...PLAY movies~ they require too much memory which this unit lacks~

last one that matters~ NO virus for this receiver~ it is NOT a computer~ it is a receiver~ so no constant updates for virus and software on it like a computer~

I GIVE IT 5 OUT OF 5 FOR EASE OF USE ~ AFFORDABLE INTERNET RECEIVER FOR ANY ONE WHO JUST NEEDS TO GET EMAILS AND WANTS A EASY WAY TO GET IT~ GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE~

they do not make these any more so what ever units are out there will soon disappear so enjoy it while you can~
