As long as people can see two hands, two feet, and a head on their baby pictures, they won't care... Look how many people use SLP on thier VCR's?! I would say the video out of the CDTV is cleaner than SLP on a vcr. This will allow them to take their pictures and lock them up in the can, and still allow them to show them off to all their friends without destroying the pictures with fingerprints. And if Commodore has cut a deal with Kodak, CD-I won't have the Kodak name to parade around. > ------------------------------------------------------------- > / Marc Barrett -MB- | BITNET: XGR39@ISUVAX.BITNET / >/ ISU COM S Student | Internet: XGR39@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU / >------------------------------------------------------------ >\ The great thing about standards is that / > \ there are so many of them to choose from. / > ------------------------------------------------------- ^^^ is this thing supposed to look like a UFO?
