Betty, How reliable do you consider the "gem" about CDTV being behind schedule to be? Methinks it bodes ill if C= misses this Christmas season. Harmonious Regards, Homer

Depends on what you mean by "missing" the Christmas season. It's not clear how CBM plans to market CDTV. They waved their hands, said they'd go high-end consumer electronics stores, whatever that means. In many industries, "making" the end-of-year holiday sales rush means having the product on the shelves in September.

Homer, I have not idea whether this will apply to the US at all. This was an English show – and they also do not have AmigaVision. In fact, Commodore UK insists that it is not yet shipping. We'll just have to wait until the dust settles. Last I heard, Commodore US was saying it will be out for the Christmas sales. Betty

Betty, Hmmm, I'm confused…quoting last message: Last I heard, Commodore US was saying it will be out for the Christmas sales. Was this referring to AmigaVision? My dealer has already sold a dozen copies (not including the ones that ship with A500s) and has a few sitting on the shelf in the store. I assume this is before X-mas! 😉 -Chas

Charles, Please remember that Commodore UK and Commodore Canada and Commodore US and Commodore Germany, etc., are all different companies, and do things differently. The UK show indicated that CDTV would NOT be out for Christmas in England. That does not necessarily mean it won' t be out for them in the US. AmigaVision is definitely available in the US, but it is NOT available in the UK yet. I can't explain these differences, but many, many of them do exist. Betty
