My thought exactly. There's no shortage of under $200 68030-based Mac
II's out there (with a small monitor, too). An '030 can handle up to
System 7.5 (more than adequate, and quite recent) and all the major TCP
apps. You may even find an older '040-based Mac (Performa, Centris) and
still come out cheaper than WebTV. IMHO, this would be much more ideal
for your father. If he's and EE, he's likely to be interested in
exploring computers further some day, and WebTV limits you to, well, the
Web (and email, of course).
