John, a good question. Lately, there've been a lot of magazine articles which show some confusion. Stereo Review has mixed up CD-I as an LD replacement. TIME magazine recently wrote up CDTV as "Commodore's CD-I version, but with fewer titles", more or less. Even technical magazines often opine about consumer confusion. Which proves columnist confusion only 🙂 The mass consumer has always been different. They learn and decide from what they hear and see on TV, from ads, and mostly from friends. CDTV hasn't been widely marketed enough to sow any real confusion in the mass public's mind, and people are familiar enough with the CD-I companies that they won't think twice buying from them. But I'll tell you exactly what will happen this fall <looking into my crystal ball :->. Commodore will come out with an ad campaign pushing CDTV/keyboard bundles, and touting the expandability of CDTV into an Amiga… The reaction of most of the public will be normal: "Huh, what's that? Is it IBM compatible? No? Then why do I want it?" <crystal ball fades to black> sigh – kevin
