     Just to interject into this discussion with something slightly
related:  I heard a story from CES or Comdex last year, when CDTV and CD-I
were being shown off and Photo CD was becoming a reality.  On the first 
day of the show, Philips was loudly advertising CD-I's photo CD capabilities.
To counter this, one of the folks at the Commodore booth supposedly borrowed
one of the Photo CD disks.  By the next morning, CDTV was showing Photo CD
images via an ARexx script.  Philips made a bunch of noise about this, though,
and CBM had to stop showing it to keep Kodak from comiung after them for
license infringements.
