BTW, I learned while attending World of Amiga in New York over the weekend that
CDTV and an Amiga CAN be networked using PARNet.  Now you can play CD's without
having to have your computer on (as you would if you got the upcoming A690 and
you can use CDTV as a CD-ROM drive for your A2000 (or whatever).  Nice thing,
CDTV is turning out to be- I am a TRUE believer after that convention when I 
was really kind of upset about it before (CDTV is an almost direct competitor
for CD-I, which my company is sourcing the silicon for).
