I THINK SO TOO!!!  Which is why your posting is incredibly frustrating!
WHO is doing this porting???  WHO is being hired???  WHAT hardware will
be needed to run it???  WHERE can I buy a CD-I player???  WHEN will
it be available??!?!!!  And HOW MUCH WILL IT COST!!!!!!!

Even if the article didn't specify all of these things, at least you
could have detailed exactly what was and was not said, instead of
posting a wonderful teaser with *nothing* to back it up... not even
a phone number or address to call for more information.  Anyone else
with a subscription to "HyperMedia" who might want to give some more
information?
