Did anybody pay attention while producing this book? Why wasn't it fact-checked? In the tables comparing WebTV Classic and WebTV Plus, the information is completely reversed! Not just in one table, but in all the comparison tables showing price and features. Newcomers especially should stay away from this book. Try the WebTV for Dummies book.

One of the better books on the Webtv system. Up to date, especially on the plus model, which really ic the only way to go with Webtv service.

I found this book very very helpful. It covers the subject very well. I would highly recomend this book. also. Online Search Secrets. The information appears to be written by someone who has actually used the webtv unit.
