Flexible

---

You may be able to sprawl out on your living room floor to surf the Web with WebTV, but you won�t be able to flip channels to computer applications and fill your hard drive with the freeware at many Web sites. A.J. prefers to use his computer to do serious Web business. �With a personal computer, you have a lot more flexibility,� A.J. said.

Even so, WebTV users can jump through some hoops like animals at three-ringed circuses. Unlike television programs, which run on a set schedule, you choose the Web program, as well as the day and time to watch it. And you don�t have to worry about setting your VCR timer, if you work at odd hours. The Web site probably won�t go anywhere soon. You can tap into it whenever you�re available.
