  Yeah, we had a CDTV at RMIT on Wednesday. It looked nice, but the demo didn't
work properly, the batteries for the remote control were flat, which seemed
to impair the operation of the machine, and I *swear* the demo had a section
telling you how to plug your CDTV into a power socket (there were pictures
of wall sockets on the screen). The C= reps said that they'd only got the
think together the previous night, hence it's not-working-properly-ness.

>HT is in Sunnyvale, CA ... btw

  RMIT is is Melbourne, Australia ... btw :)
