Its not that CDTV and CD-I are entertainment devices — its just that they
are *not much more* than entertainment devices. True, they could be grown
into computers essentially, but why would you want a computer that looks
like a CD stereo component?
Actually, I think that CDTV/CD-I technology will wind up being a fad to
most of the market until R/W CDs come down in price to be a part of such a
unit. Then CD-type units will not only be able to entertain customers, but
also learn about those customers (you could file a lot of information on a
CD).
