  I read this morning in "New Computer Express" (a UK magazine) that a CD-I
machine has finally been released in the US by Philips.
  
  Obviously with names like Sony and Philips making these things, Commodore are
going to have to pray that the CDTV makes a big impact before the others get
into the battle.

  But wait ! What's to stop CDTV and Amiga owners from using emulators which
can read CD-I disks ? Afterall CD-I is only the protocol, all the different
machine models that will appear will all have different specifications in terms
of screen resolution,colour capability,sound channels etc. , and I am pretty
sure that some of these will be comparable to that of the amiga.
 
  Does anyone else have any ideas/criticisms about this subject ?
