E-Mail for those without a computer. There is a new device for sending and receiving e-mail called MailStation. It's about the size of an AlphaSmart (keyboard with built-in screen). It costs about $100 plus 410 a month for the e-mail service. There are limitations if you're a more sophisticated e-mail user but for people without a computer who want to get into e-mail this seems like as good or possibly a better alternative to WebTV. Check it out at http://www.cidco.com/
