  I bet 80 out of 100 persons I ask on the street haven't heard of CD-I 
or CDTV. There are no TV or print ads for CD-I (well I haven't see any).

 But not on the net, write in a letter if you want change. Bashing
CBM on a bbs, or on usenet isn't going to change CBM's advertising
policy. CBM engineers read these groups, but CBM marketing doesn't.
I think many well written letters to CBM marketing will produce more
of an effect than whining on the net.
