I'd like to offer one (or two) more: CDTV With CDTV there is a low cost (list ~$900, going for <$750) delivery platform. Joe Public has never seemed too interested in a $3000 computer sitting on his desk at home, enter CDTV. It has the support of 6 years of Amiga developing behind it, and the advantages of fairly inexpensive development machines (eg stock Amiga 2000's and 3000's). A CD-ROM add-on for the Amiga 500 will provide the same capabilities as CDTV has for all those who currently own A500's. NOTE: This add-on is not officially available though it has been shown.
