ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an apparatus enabling interaction with a network computer system. It has particular application to a system employing a printer for printing an interface onto a surface to produce an interface surface.According to one aspect of the invention, there is provided an apparatus enabling interaction with a network computer system, the apparatus including:an appliance for storing and cooling produce for use by an appliance user; anda printer device integrated into said appliance, the printer device being operatively interconnectable with said network computer system, the printer device including a printer module operable to print at least one form delivered from said network computer system, and the printer device being configured to receive indicating data from a sensing device operated by an appliance user, the sensing device when placed in an operative position relative to said at least one form sensing the indicating data.By means of the invention, a network terminal comprising an interactive printer device can be incorporated into, say, the door of a domestic refrigerator. Such an appliance is readily accessible, and is regularly visited by those who may be making use of the network terminal.
