I remember WebTV.  I seem to also remember a device that would POP your email account and print the messages. I imagine it couldn't send anything.

The only demeaning thing about GrandPad might be the name.  They didn't call WebTV "GrandDads's TV Web".

A long time ago, my relatives bought a WebTV box and internet subscription for my grandma to try to get her online... Altogether must've cost close to $1K. I'm not sure that it had ever ended up being used or even turned on before we removed it.

    Saw this advertised on TV (by Consumer Cellular).  Am I just being
    grouchy, or is this thing demeaning to seniors?
