Well, let's give the credit where credit is due.  The CD-ROM thing was
practically NONE of Nolan Bushnell's work.  Nolan was brought in into
Commodore when all was set and done by Gail Wellington's CD-ROM group.
While I highly applaud Nolan's acquisition, it is really unfair to 
credit him with the thing.  BTW, did anybody see the 3 min video that
was used at the CES CD-ROM announcement?  It was awsome!  I was lucky
to be around when they put it all together in LA.
