Hi Jo:

I just went over to where they live. I sat in front of their WEB tv.

There was a place where you would in a web address. Above this place it said "Key Word, phrase or web address". To the left were the words MSN. I knew immediately that this place was a search engine.

She put in Richard's discovery toys website, and a link to his website came up, but no more Neuro Talk came up.

She said "Oh wow, what did you do??" I said 'we took off the links that were inside the forum".

I then told her "how do you directly go to any website? She said 'Oh, I just go on my keyboard and press the go to button, and a little thing pops up on the screen, and I type in the web address and hit "go".

This is what I said to her (correct me if I'm wrong).

I said 'The top of your screen is now a search engine, (I explained that any place it says to put in a keyword, well, that it's doing a search, it's not a browser). Then I said "when you go to your keyboard, and bring up the "go to" thing, THAT IS YOUR BROWSER and typing in any website url will immediately take you directly to that website.

I proved this by showing her what happened if went to the top of her screen and typed in the word EBAY. A whole bunch of links including the home page of EBAY showed up.

Next i told her to hit the go to button on her keyboard, a little window popped up on her screen, and I told her to put in Richard's URL. Sure enough, when she did this, and moved the cursor to the word "go", it took her directly to her husband's discovery toys website.

So now she knows that the top of her webtv screen is a search engine, and if she brings up the "go to" thing from her keyboard, THAT IS HOW SHE CAN GET TO ANY WEBSITE SHE WANTS.

We did this a number of times and I was right on the money each time.

So what do you thinK???

I told her to save her money to buy a computer because if I had to sit in front of a tv set and do this web tv thing, I'd shoot myself. It takes forever to go ANYWHERE with the web tv.

She's okay with it. It's only 20 years old. lol

Thanks much, just wanted to update you.
