- Nobody's CD-ROM machines have been very successfull. CDTV is doing as well
- as CD-I is. I think Commodore is doing OK, but they really should get some
- CD-ROM stuff out in the next 6 months or so. I think they will.

- The "Sensation" sucks. Its NOT 16 million colours - its merely a PALETTE
- of 16 mil, but only 256 at a time. I've already seen CDTV's that look MUCH
- nicer. An '030 based A4000 with a CD-ROM would easily whip the Sensation's
- butt. Hopefully Commodore will make this a reality (they sure seem to be
- implying they will do something like this).
