The New York Times did a story on it last week. But it's gonna be later this year, when the supporting software is ready and WAITING that you'll probabaly see the ads. Why advertise now, when people are more interested in tans than hardware. But by summer's end, when kids are getting ready for school, and the first of the Sears "wishbooks" hit the mailbox, CBM (if they're as eager for CDTV to take off as all of us stockholders are) should hits the airwaves then.
