>I see VIS, from what little I know, as a parallel medium, since it utilizes >computers, as opposed to CD-I, which uses the ubiquitous TV. It would be difficult for a consumer to tell the systems apart. The VIS box looks like the CD-I box which looks like the CDTV box etc. etc. There's no disk drives, keyboard (standard), or floppies on a VIS. The "computer connection" is more in the area of development and title marketing (titles can be ported to the VIS from MPC and DOS). William Volk
