The consumer CD-I player displays on a TV and operates with wireless
remote joystick control (couch-proof) or a mouse or trackball.

A professional CD-I development machine can contain a network
connection, a hard disk, a floppy, a monitor (instead of TV), etc..
Since it is actuallly a fully equipped computer running a multitasking
OS, you can do remote logins and have information on your workstation.
I suppose that holds for NT as well, but I'm not yet familiar with it.
There is also a PC-based CD-I development system.  For more
information contact:
