AOL branded internet appliance(s) ?
home computers are becoming used more and more for 4 things. Games, Web
browsing, email, and for the student - word proccessing.
For games - buy a Play Station/ Dreamcast, etc.
Do we really need all the overhead (and potential points of failure) of a
windows OS for Web browsing, email, and possibly word processing?
Can AOL actually create a consumer friendly internet appliance - that could
replace 50% of the home PC's? I certainly think so.
