WTF? With all the stuff there is to bitch about, why are some wasting time
picking on people who use WebTV?
It's Internet access, isn't it? So what?
See my response to NOSPAM in, of all places, a discussion on WD-40. How
the hell a discussion on WD-40 turns into a reefing session on WebTVers
I'll never know, but it seems in this group, anything can happen. At any
rate, the point I'm trying to make is, if the hardware you have does the
job you want it to do, good enough!
Oh, I forgot. You're not a REAL poster until you have a REAL computer.
Sorry, RAV...
I guess that lets me and my PentiumI 225MHz machine out, too...
(yeah, 225MHz. I overclocked the hell out of the 175 MHz processor, the
video card and the memory. Been running it that way since 1996. I'd match
it to some 500's NP...)

Webbies violate Usenet custom more than the usual AOL-ers and other noobs.
They, more often than others,
1) post binaries to non-binary groups;
2) post in html;
3) do not quote previous posts in their replies;
4) post in ALL CAPS;
5) put <a href...> tags in their sigs;
6) become indignant when you point out to them that they are not being
polite, and declare that they should not have to follow what they consider
to be stupid, hide-bound rules.

Number 4 and Number 6 is not much different than people like Learning
Richard and Scott in Florida who constantly post OT crap in this
newsgroup.
Those who berate WebTVers before trying to inform them in a helping
manner exacerbate the animosity.

Well, I may not be up to snuff with you on hopping up 'Yotas, but I'll
match wits with anyone when it comes to computers.
Actually, I retired that about 6 months ago; something happened to the KB
bios. That was the machine that went on the 'net. Now using a machine
someone gave me, but it's a name brand so the bios can't be fudged. The
machine that DOESN'T go on the net is an Athlon XP2200+ clocked about 15%
over with an ATI running a hack that lets you bump it up about 10MHz and
Kingston HyperX clocked to the max. I have a Soyo DRAGON that let's you
overclock selectively, so the FSB is running 400, but the memory is
running 250 for an effective 500. I CAN clock the RAM to 520, but it
becomes unstable (on Windoze) at 510; runs stably on Linux at that.

Hey, thanks for seeing things the way they should be seen. _It works for
me._
I've had a wonderful presence in usenet, starting with my first nick as
the Jeep Chick. The only thing I use webtv for is my usenet involvement.
Ironic, considering it's the toughest neighborhood this side of
Cleveland. I grew up the youngest girl with 3 older brothers. I *have*
to be tough!

LR, why you picking on Rav? WebTV isn't the end of the world, man.
Like I said, if it works...
Besides, you can pick up a WebTV at Salvation Army or Goodwill for $10-20.
If ALL you want is Internet Access and don't NEED a computer, I see that
as a fantastically inexpensive way to get on the net. Even if you buy one
new for $99, it's still a deal. And the fact that the designers even
included usenet at all is amazing.
Besides, it's not the medium, it's the message. Could it be that you
really have more of a problem with Rav than how she accesses the
newsgroups? Hmmmmm....?
If I remember,you had some problems with me and my conservatism, but we
have learned to listen to each other. Try it again, my friend.
