Hello everyone!

	I haven't seen any mention of it in the Amiga newsgroups for
awhile, but I was wondering if anyone had any info on the CD/TV.  When
will it be available, how much?  What are the specs on it, does it have 
a hard drive port?  How easy will it be to expand it into a complete
Amiga computer system (ie. Keyboard, mouse, hard drive, monitor, memory
expansion, other upgrades, etc...)?  Does it come with ECS?  I remember
hearing somewhere that CD's had to be placed in a tray to be played
in it, is that just for CD-ROMS or for audio CD's too?  I think 
I remember hearing that it could play CD+Graphics disc's too, is that
correct?
	I've also heard that industry standard CD-I players are going
to be released later this year.  What is Commodore planning to do
to compete with the CD-I players?  Will the CD/TV be upgraded in the
future to provide full-motion playback of CD-I disc's?  
	Sorry to ask so many questions, but I really want to get a 
CD player soon and I've been wanting to get an Amiga for a long time.
The CD/TV seems like the perfect solution.  Thanks for your help!
