1 thing...
Some of the web-browser disks are bad, so if you get a customer with a disk
that doesn't boot, they need to contact Sega, and they will send them a new
on .

Setting it up is simple. It comes reconfigured to connect to WorldNet, and
if you connect to them, you get the keyboard for free. Below the click to
connect to WorldNet Button is a Connect to and Alternate ISP button.

Then you have to go through 2 separate screens of configuration.

1. It asks for your real name, your username, your password, your primary
dial-up number, and a backup dialup number, then your dns's.

2. The next screen asks for your e-mail address, your pop server and your
smtp server, and your pop username and password.

Click the save button, and tada, you are all set to connect to the net.
Once you do that the browsing is pretty straight forward, and the browser
does a good job of rendering pages, a lot better then WebTV, IMHO. Once you
set this up, it opens up the Internet option in other games.

Oh yeah, not Only does it come with the browser, it also comes with an IRC
client which is pretty cool.

And to answer the question, - no I didn't get the vga adapter yet. A
Dreamcast, a second controller, a VMU, and 3 games sort of ate into my
entertainment budget for the next couple of weeks :)
