CD-I seems to be floundering. It almost seems as if Phillips doesn't want to support it. All of my titles are for "in-house" consumption or for limited release within the Nuclear Power industry, technical stuff. By the way I work for a Nuclear Generating Station. We use CD-I for training and for pre-planning of work orders. I am developing a photographic tour of the plant that will allow the engineers, health physists, chemists, etc. to view plant areas and pieces of equipment without going there. This saves in radiation exposure and in time. Engineers can plan modifications at their desks and actually see what they are working on. It seems to work. We estimate the first year's time and exposure savings to equate to over $150,000. That's a very good payback. I'm a firm believer because I like the stand-alone concept. The delivery systems are fairly cheap, as compared to a multimedia computer. We are developing titles for training, use in our visitors center and in an environmental area we have developed to promote conservation of wetlands. I hope you have a Happy Holiday season and I'm looking forward to taking part in the forum's activities.
