   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.
