Re Q2: The absolute last thing we need is the government – ANY government – trying to police/control cyberspace. They've all got enough to worry about in the offline world that they still need to fix before they even start to think about meddling in the online world.

Tip: A standard $20.00 keyboard with an extension cable has better quality and is more cost efficient than the Webtv remote keyboard. I've had Webtv since Nov. 96 and am on my 2nd sony keyboard(thank god for warranties). In addition to my remote I have purchased a standard keyboard and I find it to be more comfortable to use. Live and learn

Re Q3: Release date for upgrade. WebTV has emphasized service based on a paradigm which makes it paramount that subscribers aren't confronted with a lot of bugs and decreased service reliability when new features are periodically introduced. PC users, on the other hand, have been conditioned to not only tolerate release date delays (upon delays, on top of delays) but also slipshod, buggy releases that were rushed through beta testing. I'll take my problem free WebTV, thank you, and I don't expect MY upgrade before it is tuned (even if that means waiting longer than currenty anticipated).

Re Q1: I would find it annoying to have the light go off and then check messages for the account I was using and then find none there.
Regarding question 2: The same laws that apply to other media publishing should apply to the internet.Lessons should be given to everyone about respect and free speech.How about the Golden Rule campaign,it seems as if the people who shout about free speech and their right to it are the ones that complain the loudest when someone doe not share the same views.Diversity is grand and choices are freedom.

Re Q3: Upgrades. PC users have become conditioned to release date delay upon delay, only to receive slipshod, buggy releases and upgrades. WebTV is based upon a paradigm that makes it of paramount importance that subscribers aren't confronted with alot of buggy features and decreased service reliability every time an upgrade is intriduced. Speaking for myself, I'll take my upgrade when it's tuned and not before. To be fair, WebTV has been no less specific about the release date for the upcoming upgrade than the majority of software companies have historically been about their projected release dates. I've read a number of cynical postings on other boards by a few WebTV users who unfairly criticize WebTV for tardiness in releasing the upgrade. I have read a fair number of articles and press releases which quote WebTV representatives as saying that users may expect the upgrade in late April or May. WebTV hasn't let a date "slip" yet, so why all the fuss?

I'm not exactly sure of what you mean-I thought I already had that....
Lose the homepage music-all of you! I'm so glad I didn't do it-it's so annoying !!!!! That goes for every page on the net-people should put a music button in the corner or something. It's not so bad the first time you load the page, but a lot of the time you hit the back button on the browser to get back to the interesting page you were just on, and imagine that I want to kill someone now!

Tip: I currently have a standard keyboard plugged into my webtv unit. I have found the wireless keyboard impractical in longer email messages so I use the wired keyboard at my desk near my television but the wireless keyboard surfing from the sofa. By going to the Magnavox homesite all the function keys on the standard keyboard are decoded as the proper function keys on the wireless keyboard.

WebTV is hooked directly from the unit to my TV'S video/audio input with standard audio RCA cables...WebTV says that the next upgrade will be in the Spring..for me April is Spring... Out of curiosity I'd like to know which particular upgrade is desired by whoever posts on this board...I don't get much Email,thus an upgrade on that is not particularly desired.
