Another unit that doesn't have the name recognition as the CD-I unit is the
CDTV unit from Commodore.  Neither unit is selling very well, even though
Phillips is spending who knows how much more money advertising their unit
over Commodore.  Commodore does have an interesting ad comparing the two 
machines, which I think is well done.  Spend a little extra $$$ and you can
get a disk drive and keyboard to hook up to the CDTV and get at the computer
inside of it.  I don't have either one, but the CDTV sounds like a better
buy.  (Yeah right.  Just like Beta is better than VHS.  Look who won that
one.  :-()  Unfortuneatly, it seems like developers are bending over back-
wards for the CD-I unit which probably means it will come out on top in the
end.
