Trust me, at times it was a PITA. I could have used a friend's PC but I realized at the time it was a great way to learn and I was enjoying hanging out with a bunch of folks in a couple of WebTV internal newsgroups we had turned into "classrooms". One of the guys that started out with us eventually ended up doing a great online tutorial that is still up today

People created a lot of online tools that let WebTVers do many of the things PC pagebuilders do that the WebTV unit couldn't do itself. The WebTV Plus added video capture which gave WebTVers a way to add pictures that didn't require someone with a PC to scan them in for them. Online "transloaders" added limited FTP operations. There have actually been some very nice sites created entirely with a WebTV, a fact I attribute to that it required people to get creative to get around it's limitations.
