Kev, I'd like to point something out. Just food for thought. When the IBM pC was released, it was garbage. It was slow, it used outdated tech, it had minimal memory, it was single tasking, it gfx capabilities were unbelieveably bad, just a huge long list of inferiority and poor design decisions. It sold. Like wildfire. Beacause people thought they wanted it. Not because they did, not because it was better, not because it was whiz-bang. A good deal because it was hyped in the correct manner, by everyone. And something important – you could buy one, more or less right away after deciding you wanted it, tho there was an order backlog. There is a huge potential for success for CDTV, if it meets 2 criteria – the same ones the IBM Pc did: (1) It becomes available (2) It works. Ben Amateur Radio Callsign is A A 7 A S
