If you liked Windows 98

This is like using a computer in the late 1990's. When you first see the device, it seems like it has potential. However, once it's activated, you'll find that whoever developed the firmware for this thing has been transported back to a time when we didn't expect much from computerized devices. File recognition is not an easy task. Navigating Windows requires a lot of button presses on the remote control, which apparently must be aimed squarely at the little guy. Hit or miss subheadings no matter how you label them. Speaking of labeling subwoofers. Why do I still have to label them? There also appears to be a file size limit, which seems unusual for something labeled 4k. Unlike modern computing devices that adapt to the user, this requires the user to adapt to it. Once it's up and running, it plays well. Picture and sound are good. But getting it there makes one wonder if it was worth it. The email support is helpful and pleasant enough, and while I've considered returning this thing to Revain, I think I'll leave it in the hope that some sort of firmware update can help, in its to weaken nostalgic memories of Windows '98.
