 PROFILE
Anyone else want a turn trying to sell Internet appliances? MyTurn.com, formerly Compu-DAWN, sold its public-safety software and long-distance telecommunications divisions, shut down its e.TV Commerce referral marketing operations, and remade itself into a provider of Internet appliances. Led by Michael Fuchs (former CEO of HBO), MyTurn.com targeted first-time computer users with its GlobalPC. The low-cost appliance, powered by Geoworks' GEOS operating system, had built-in applications for e-mail, Web browsing, games, and business productivity. When sales and additional funding failed to materialize, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, and announced plans to liquidate all assets.
