Luke Skywalker: it's a wanna be puter.. that still allows those who enjoy television to watch tv... hehe

Actually.. it is a unit that hooks up to your television.. and allows you to search the web to some extent.. the web sites have to be webtv friendly.. so they are limited..

as far as the java and applet material on the net.. well the webtv isn't able to download anything so unless it is already installed in the system.. it won't be able to run them..
