An introductory neg rep barrage seems like a good way to prime the pump, really.

It's unfortunate that tradition went by the wayside. The pussification of CP.

Here's a ChatGPT summary:

WebTV, also known as MSN TV, was a pioneering internet service introduced in the mid-1990s that allowed users to access the World Wide Web through their televisions. Developed by WebTV Networks, it aimed to bridge the digital divide by offering internet capabilities to individuals who did not own a personal computer. Users could browse websites, send and receive emails, and access various online services using a wireless keyboard and a set-top box that connected to their television. Despite its innovative approach, WebTV faced challenges due to limited functionality and the rapid evolution of personal computers, leading to its eventual decline and discontinuation in the early 2000s.

WebTV was kind of like Roku but for the internet as a whole rather than for video. It was a way for people to get online without buying a computer, but it was a pretty limited experience.

Actually I was a pretty big dumbass when I joined this forum. I matured a lot through my 20s and into my early 30s.

It was a cheap internet device from the mid-90s that connected to a TV, aimed at people who didn't have a computer. It was kind of like AOL.

Yep. Notice I said "were" not "are." :-)

Anyone heard anything from Frazod? That guy used to be super active and engaged. He’d give as good as he got. But then Taylor Swift came to Chicago and he kinda disappeared. Hope he’s well.
