   I read a very nice little article about the CDTV in this week's issue
of InfoWorld (a normally IBM/Mac/Next magazine).  It mentioned that CDTV
was out, talked about what it did and some of the titles available, and
quoted the prices for various configurations.  The article made note of
the fact that CDTV had some 50 titles available, and seemed impressed by
the fact that it can play IBM and MAC format CDROMs.

   Perhaps the most interesting part of the article was a paragraph
dealing with the cost of buying a development system for CDROMs.  It seems
the IBM/MAC systems cost $50,000+; the Amiga-based authoring system runs
for $10,000 complete.  That REALLY seemed to impress InfoWorld....
