    It will be out then because the CPU's for it will be CHEAP
    enough by then!  Heck one could build a toy like that now for
    under $1000.   Problem is that hardware is NOT what makes a
    good game machine.  $500 is to expensive.  a good game
    machine must be $50 < < $150. in that range.  Also software.
    It must be easy to develope for.

 DC> might be possible, but I think it's unlikely and would probably be

    Heck you could put it out by the end of 1992.  My guess
    is thier waiting for the prices to drop on the CPU.  Thier is
    only one CPU that fits the criteron you gave so I know what
    thier up to.  I don't think it will pan out though.
