 - exactamungo man.  You can put on an advertising blitz like apple or ibm,
   but the product superiority is what counts!  DCTV had quite the add blitz.

   I was more impressed with colorburst than all the other color "devices"
put together.  I "pushed" my way through the crowd and talked to the 
australians at the booth for over an hour about this incredible product. 
They do know what they are doing, and are doing it the right way!
The system they were showing pictures on was in PAL, but i could barely
see any flicker on the amazing true 24 bit pictures. Wonder how it would 
look in NTSC?
The REAL-TIME 24 bit color screen beating to incoming audio sources was
pretty cool, but the idea of having a 24 bit mouse pointer the size of 
a bob, etc. allows for some ultra-cool effects.  Can't wait to see all the
other programs they said they are going to bundle with Colorburst.
I wanted to buy it there, when are they going to ship in U.S.????
