Larry?: Things would be a little easier if everyone's name matched their ID, somehow. In any case, products like Nautilus are delivering movies on CD today. If you're talking about Terminator II, forget it for a couple of years or maybe more. If you're talking simply about motion video for specialized purposes, it is increasingly common.

And don't forget those "other" full-length movies that are now available on cd-rom, Rich. There was four or five of them at COMDEX. Can't understand why anyone would want to watch an entire porn flick in jerky (well, maybe that isn't a good choice of words) video and difficult sound but different strokes for very different folks, I guess. Cheers!

And of course, there's yesterday's announcement that Philips is going to put some of Paramount's movies on CD-I. My, what a great concept for Compact Disc – Interactive: Passive Movie Playback! Couch potatoes unite behind discs instead of tape! Oy! Best – Rich

Rich, >> Couch potatoes unite behind discs instead of tape! Great Idea for couch potatoes, a labor saving device, they don't need to press the rewind button!. Now if Philips comes out with a CD-I jukebox, they could vegatate for hours on end! Glen

Glen: >>Now if Philips comes out with a CD-I jukebox<<… wouldn't we all be surprised! It's an idea that makes sense. Best – Rich Bowers
