Back in 1995 or maybe 1997 the Information Technology guy at work told me about this new and easy to use internet appliance called WebTV.
I worked the third shift back then. I got home in the early morning and "my Lady" would be just going to work. I remember I got that little black box hooked up just as she was driving off to work and the next thing I knew she was at the front door after finishing her day at work. My first WebTV logon went for eight-plus hours.
I remember people knocking me about WebTV NOT storing anything inside of it. I remember being asked what I meant by my "stuff" being stored on the cloud. Now, everyone stores their "stuff" on the cloud.
I always wondered if microsoft purchased WebTV just so they could kill its format as they felt WebTV was a threatening form of competition.
Oh well, sorry for the temporary distraction.
