i’m an oldtimer that recently got into computers.
so i decided i needed this inexpensive netbook instead of carrying around my more expensive laptop.
after fooling with it and its slowness and limitations i realized i’m dealing with “webtv” all over again except now i have portability and wifi:>)

Hello Barry:
Unfortunately, you are pretty much correct. It’s like webtv however at least this version allows for some customization. When I used my device on regular occasions, I would use it to access the serial ports (via serial to USB adapter) of Cisco switches and other network equipment. I now have an Asus Eee 900 and its capabilities (while still “limited” far exceed the Sylvania’s.
Happy Hacking
