There are at least of couple of email "appliances" on the market at $100-$200. Each requires a connection with a charge of abour $10 a month. But with 2x5" screens they would clearly be inappropiate. I'd suggest looking at the Phillips-Magnavox WebTV, a set-top box currently advertised (and widely available in retail outlets). It uses the home tv for a screen, has a IR-coupled keyboard (allowing the user to get as close as desired to the screen), costs about $200, and has a monthly connect fee of $10. Who knows? Grandma might even hit the wrong key, and find herself surfing the Web! Jack McGrath
