Both disks?  Does Commodore have their own standard?  The CD-i method of
MPEG is a new ___book standard for Video CDs, which will also be used by 3DO
and possibly others as it gets out.  There will be an MPEG-2 standard in the
future (as close as a year from now?) that will offer "laserdisc" quality.
We shall see <g>.

The CD32 has been out in Europe, and plans to debut in the US at the next
CES show.
