Apple Set Top Box

It was a custom designed interactive TV unit, used for some test program in Texas and I think the UK. I think it was tested in a few schools, but I really don't know how far it went (it was probably slammed out of existance either by cost, or more likely by Channel 1 if it was meant for the educational market). I don't personally know of anyone that has gotten theirs to do anything, although I have read posts of a few people that got theirs to at least boot to an Apple logo screen. Mine just sits (it gets a red "starting up" light, but never gets past that to the yellow "standby" or green "on", or even the red blinking "busted" light). I got mine from a garage sale just recently (paid $5 for it, no remote, no anything, just the unit)... the guy selling it said his son went off to college, and he was getting rid of some of his "junk" he had kicking around the house while his son wasn't there to complain... my guess is, when the son gets home for vacation, he will be mighty pissed off (I also got a vintage 2 foot Godzilla with working shoot out hands and flicking fire breath... paid $2 for that). I have seen them come and go on ebay, usually selling for between $10 and $20 if you want to pick one up. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
