Ethan, The European press has been suggesting that a Spring 1991 release (over there) of the CDTV may well be within the realm of reality. According to one report, Commodore has been doing two interesting things. First, they've either already or are planning to ship a limited number of units to selected households, to see how people react to the thing and how they use it or what they think they might use it for. Secondly, they've supposedly arranged for the possibility of rental of CDTV units through some of the higher-quality electronics stores in the UK, so people can go through a "try-before-you-buy" experience. Both sound like good ideas if true, and should further clarify the possibilities for this thing. Sure hope it makes a _big_ splash!! — steve
