The first internet access device was a WebTV, you could only access sites that were WebTV accessible so you couldn’t go to a lot of sites but there was still plenty for me to do and see.

@cherokeepatti Oh, I have never heard of that before.

@Nimbus I bought it in 1998, a lot cheaper than a computer, paid $25 a month for dial-up service and I used the heck out of it for about 3 years. I had to use my TV for a monitor and used the one in my bedroom, could still watch TV in the corner of the screen while playing with the WebTV.

@cherokeepatti Wow, that was a lot of money then.

@Nimbus It was in the late 90’s and cheap entertainment for me. I didn’t rent as many movies and I didn’t have cable tv either. And cheaper than having computer dial-up when they made you pay by the minute or whatever. I remember hearing co-workers say that their kids dialed up and the regular way was busy and they did an alternative way and got charged hundreds of $ one month for long-distance.
