Yes, and word about system 7 was out over 6 months ago, and word about Workbench 2.0 appeared in magazines 8-9 months ago etc. etc. Last I heard (from someone who works for Phillips on CD-I developer's tools) was that they were "Having trouble" delivering the promised FSFMV. My impression was that they would hold release until they got things ironed out. Let's hope CBM does that same. If only one entry in the field delivers on this, the choice will be all too clear. -- | Robert E.
