Around 1999-2001 (maybe earlier or later) my grandfather ordered a "PC". It wasn't a computer in the traditional sense, but basically an Internet terminal. If my memory serves me right it had a monitor with handful of colors and a keyboard and mouse. All the insides must have been behind the monitor. I remember the interface was similar to AOL where everything was funneled through a homescreen and that is where you checked your mail and got your weather and stock information. Going to other websites looked terrible and it seemed like the browser had a hard time formatting anything that wasn't a proprietary website. It was awful. And pricey. The idea was that you paid a the company a monthly fee that covered the dial-up and the "computer" only cost $99 bucks.
This is something that would have been advertised in the Wall Street Journal or AARP around 15/16 years ago. I could have sworn the name was "Web.0" or something terribly Y2K like that.
Does anyone remember anything like this?
