Smarty has it right. I can sit on the couch with a cat on my lap, the
keyboard (infrared remote) next to me and use my TV as a monitor. I
don't have to wear my reading glasses. Using dialup, I can usually get
on line in a little over one minute and go right to my email list. I
don't have to worry about a virus or any other infiltrations. I can
send and receive photos and even spellcheck. I have a computer (Dell
desktop with Windows Vista) but find it slow and difficult so I never
use it.
