The end of an era: Today I cancelled my Webtv [later known as MSNTV] service after nearly 15 years. August 15th 1998, to be exact. It was my first foray onto the World Wide Web. A few months later I built the first version of my website, which was terrible, as was the 2nd attempt. Three times was the charm, and I`ve been runnin` with it ever since. Learned about HTML, booked trips to Europe, did TONS of reviews and interviews, all without the help of a PC [finally got a laptop in Summer `06]. Plus, I made a lot of great friends, many of whom I am still in contact with to this day. Webtv was limited of course, especially as the `Net grew faster and more advanced. Still, I managed to do with a set-top box what a lot of people STILL can`t seem to do with PC. But with MSNTV announcing they`re discontinuing service as of September 30th 2013, I decided to pull the plug now. Although my laptop can do so much more, I`m still gonna miss that little black box [or LBB as we "Webbys" referred to it]. So Good-night, sweet
