A $399 SOLUTION TO A $3,000 PROBLEM!

In its special issue on cyberspace in the spring of 1995, Time 
magazine predicted that "some day even our television sets may
be a part of cyberspace, transformed into interactive teleputers."
" Someday is today with the introduction of the Baby Bear from 
FUTURENET OnLine Inc. For less than $500 this set-top computer
allows you to access the Internet directly from your TV sets.
You can now bring the Internet directly into your television set
in less than one minute in a simple easy-to-use hook-up without
the need for technical training or an expensive personal computer.

Even when dad has a computer he hesitates to let the kids
"mess with it" for fear they will "blow it up!" The baby Bear can
become the insurance policy he takes out on his personal $4,000
computer by providing our inexpensive set-top computer for the kids.

To use the Baby Bear all you need to do is attach the Bear to your
TV, the phone line, and a standard power outlet. An icon based menu
appears automatically when power is connected. The Baby Bear can run
with its own wireless, hand-held remote control or be connected to a
wireless keyboard. Baby Bear has also been designed with options of
adding a hard drive, CD-ROM, fax and printer.
