Hello Everybody:
I just finished reading a fairly nice little article in the June 10, 1991
issue of ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING TIMES. This (for those who don't know) is a
weekly publication focusing (as you might expect) on electronics and (to some
degree) personal computers.
On page 14 of this issue is a short article on new CD technology being
displayed at the summer Consumer Electronics Show, and after briefly discussing
the NEC, Nintendo, and Philips/Magnavox plans for home CD-I systems (sometime
late this year to next year), the article turned to the Commodore CDTV system.
The capabilities of the system were discussed and compared (favorably) to
the coming-someday CD-I systems, and it was mentioned that the exhibit was
'...one of the most popular at the show...".
Not bad press, especially considering it was in an electronics magazine
that covers personal computing only scantily at best!
