!!! Newsflash !!!!
Just announced on the news this morning: The Texas Education Commission
is meeting later this year to consider putting all elementary science
curriculum on 'video disk' instead of using textbooks.
Sounds like a job for CDTV.
(Can we say "How many elementary schools are in Texas?")

Sorry Kent. That is video disk, not cd-rom. The CDTV doesn't do direct video like a video disk does. Not only that, but they had already picked the curriculum, media, and the machine that uses it before they made the announcement. It is a turn-key system. I think the CDTV is a great candidate for something like this, but it does not do what this system does. -- _. --Steve ._||__ DISCLAIMER: All opinions are my own.
