["It's about time"]
In yesterday's San Jose Mercury I was delighted to see a 3/4ths page ad from
Macy's hailing the arrival of, tah-dah! CDTV!
It starts out saying:
Now a CD can do a lot more than play music. How much more? It can
bring pictures and sound to life!
It is actually quite a wordy ad, calling CDTV an "Educational Tool", a
"computer in disguise", etc. There is a nice photo of it and
a picture of Shakespeare for some reason. I don't know if this is a Macy's
produced ad or a CA produced ad, the style is typical Macy's. The
price is $995, with the Grolier's Encyclopedia tossed in for only 50 bucks
more.
The real kicker is that it announces that Jim Dionne was there yesterday
and will be there today (Saturday).
