Anyone have information on these new fangled interactive video systems. The extent of my knowledge is that the are only made by Philips and are sold through Radio Shack for $700 with a Comptons encyclopidea rom disk and at Sound Stereo (next to Circuit City) for $600 with $100 worth of free software at Trax. I gather that this is a pretty new thing as they only arrived at Stereo Sound about 3 weeks ago. If anybody out there actually has one, and also elementary school kids using it, I would be very appreciative to hear from you on your experience(s?). Thanks very much. Jim Lee.

I would also like to know about the possibility of getting software to run this interractive video through your computer using a CD drive. Will OS/2 or Windows be able to handle this information? -- -John Price OS/2 Maintenance Czar/Source Manager Systems Developer Host Systems R&D PC-Host Group SAS Institute, Inc. sasjzp@unx.sas.com (919)677-8000 x6976

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.
