I saw this on comp.sys.mac.hardware and thought I would copy it here: -------------------- Article 6326 (38 more) in comp.sys.mac.hardware: From: a544@mindlink.UUCP (Rick McCormack) (SAME) Subject: Re: Apple's new CD-ROM rumor!! Message-ID: <3699@mindlink.UUCP> Date: 31 Oct 90 22:02:35 GMT Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada Lines: 11 Guys. Guys. guys. (and also: Gals. Gals. Gals.) haven't you all seen or at least heard about the new video tape players like the NEC Cowboy, which can rewind a T-120 tape in one minute, give or take a few seconds? Now, you can set all that stuff you wanted to put on a CD_ROM onto video tape, with motion and everything, and stereo sound and like that! Hook the Cowboy to your Mac, and program a hypercard stack. Just like the big boys, except you now also get to be a video producer. And You can update the tape at your convenience. And it is not rumor - we can even buy them in Canada! So, go out and get one now and become a multimedia guru in your spare [pick one] time, bedroom, life. -------------------- I work for a video production company doing various interactive videodisc programming and, like all computer enthusiasts, I harbor a secret desire to have the capabilities of my work machines... at home! Sooo... what's the scoop? Does anyone have any experience with this player? --Kathy . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
