I have read all the comments made on this thread and they are
all good. A few additional points to ponder:
1) your dad is obviously a bright guy and it would be
disappointing to learn that he quickly 'out grew' the
WebTV technology after just a few weeks/months.
2) the FASTEST growing segment of the Net is the
group of people 50+. They have the time, $, and
interest.
3) Speed. Can he get 50K+ connects to his ISP?
If he uses AT&T (might be free), he may not get
that type of speed. AT&T is behind the power
curve re connections. I used them for a while. They
are not keeping up. This may change in the future, but
AT&T is just too BIG. However, speed becomes less
of an issue if only e-mail is used.
4) See if he can 'try it before he buys it'.
5) If you want a 'no-brainer' solution, the iMac might
be the way to go.
6) Remember, WebTV is NOT a full-blown computer.
There will be probs with plug-ins, etc. It locks you
in to the WebTV hardware.
