WebTV Shrine
New! Take heed to WebTV radio!
WebTV (finally MsnTV) was a product/service which allowed folks to make use of the web with out a pc. You possibly can buy the ‘package’ at a brick-and-mortar retailer for round $100, which was an enormous distinction from the worth of PCs again then (which often retailed between $2-4k). The package got here with three issues: a WebTV modem/field, a wi-fi keyboard, and a distant. 
Putting in it was simple; simply unpack every thing and hook it as much as your TV. Then, you needed to activate your service with WebTV itself (mainly an ISP), which was round $25/month in 1998.
There’s rather a lot to say about WebTV, like how horrible it was navigating an internet site with a distant management, or how ineffective the wi-fi keyboard was at choosing up keystrokes. Shopping the online on a WebTV was a very completely different expertise than utilizing a PC. 
This is not nearly WebTV, however my very own expertise utilizing it once I was youthful. Few issues flood me with as a lot nostalgia as listening to a few of the background music midis I used to listen to once I was hanging out in TalkCity chatrooms and constructing my very own web sites.
