I've decided that all of these arguments are pretty pointless because
I'm gonna be buying an a690 at some point just for use as a CD-ROM
drive if nothing else, and the only reason I even care if CDTV takes
off at all is that if it does there'll be lots of new awesome games
for it. :)  My next CD player?  Probably a tossup between a CD/LD
multiplayer and a CD-I player..... I've already got an Amiga, the 690
will be useful as a CD-ROM player, and the hardware specs and whatnot
of CD-I *are* more impressive.  Of course, if a lot of bitchin' games
aren't made for it I might bag it until they are..... the "world
atlas" and "great recipes" discs people keep raving about are about as
interesting to me as the online services which advertise "great movie
reviews" and "convenient plane tickets".  Who uses these things?!

the occasional light show....
