I only have a WEB TV Eddie that has limited capabilities unlike a computer. But unlike a computer it is not effected by a viris. I only got it so I could find AMC parts and have thought about stepping up to a real computer but decided to pass as I am a simple old fart and a computer would be to complicated for me. That's why I keep my points and carbs in my cars. I usually just delete these scams.
