	I'm not going to flame you for the rest of your article.
You are entitled to your opinion, and it isn't really far off
base. What I will flame you for is your first sentence. There is
NO way you could know that. Certainly if somehow you did have a
reliable source, you wouldn't be able to tell us.
	Usenet is NOT the audience for CDTV. It is for consumers
of high-tech appliances. VCRs weren't cheap when they first came
out either. Also, CDTV is still in the process of being SHIPPED.
CBM has already said that, once CDTV is available in quantity
nationwide, there will be ads. Apparently Britain already has
ads.
	Time will only tell.

Now the world has gone to bed,		Now I lay me down to sleep,
Darkness won't engulf my head,		Try to count electric sheep,
I can see by infrared,			Sweet dream wishes you can keep,
How I hate the night.			How I hate the night.   -- Marvin
