sheesh, this group is too quiet!  Maybe we should find a nifty
controversey.  Like how how we can abort interactive video discs :-)

Anyway, did anyone go to the CD-ROM conference?  (Yeah, I know some
people get pissed about talking about CD-ROM here, but what ELSE is
there to talk about right now?  Besides, it's a transitional question :-))
Supposedly, DVI (Digital Video Interactive) was shown there.  I would be
interested in knowing if anyone checked it out and what they thought.

We are still experiencing a "training lull" around here.  No real IVD work
until next month.  So we are doing consulting for others in the IVD field.
It's quite interesting how many people receive contracts to do IVD work when
they have never even written a driver before.  Has anyone else experienced
people with no track record of IVD work bidding against you for projects?

So, let's start talking again....
