A web-based appliance (100), and techniques employed by the web-based appliance (100), are described. A technique for facilitating the interaction between a user and a computer system. The technique includes the computer system automatically launching a browser application (102) that generates a user interface (110) on a display of the computer system. As the computer system is running, user interaction with software (108) on the computer system is restricted to interaction through the user interface (110). Another technique requires information to be communicated to the user, a message that has not been requested by the web browser is delivered to the web browser. The message causes the web browser to display the information on the user interface (110). The computer system includes a local web server (104) that is configured to only respond to requests locally originated by the web browser. The local web server (104) supplies the information to the web browser for display to the user in response to requests issued to the local web server (104) by the web browser.
