I was at the Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago working in the CBM booth when CBM was showing PhotoCD pics running on a CDTV unit. The demo CDTV at that time was equipped with an internal version of DCTV and was showing a slide show of hi-resolution images with a large Kodak logo over the CDTV unit. When the Phillups camp got wind of it, they came upstairs and took a look and were VERY upset, as their literature stated CD-I was the ONLY platform that could do PhotoCD. There was some raised voices and one Phillups rep tried to yank the disk out of the CDTV drive before he was dragged off by his fellows. Not long after this incident, some Kodak people came into the booth and went into the inner office to pow-wow with the big wigs of CBM. A few minutes later, CBM managers took down the Kodak logo, but left the demo running. For the rest of the show, we all talked about how mad Phillups was, and had fun relating the story of the one *very* angry rep! 🙂 Vernon Graner Graner Sound Multimedia Studios, Austin Texas
