Jonathan-
We have the CD-I unit for experimental purposes. Here at the
Smithsonian we are working on electronic imaging, doing some real
interesting things I might add. We have been cataloging images to laser
disks for some years now but are now in the process of exploring the
capabilities of CD-ROM for storage and distribution on photographs and art.
Apple is working with us and I am personally trying to get Commodore and
AMIGA developers involved also – without much luck I might add. The future
of photography is electronic and every photographer will have an
"electronic darkroom" on his desk within the next couple of years. Already
most major newspapers are going that way. So CD-I is being explored along
with the Apple CD format, and Kodak's format
