- The CD32 and CDTV were excellent ideas which weren't carried through properly.
- I have to wonder about the future of the CD games' consoles with their $70

- In any case, the A1200() and the CD32 can be very appealing. The Intel world
- is getting increasingly complicated and homes will soon not have enough space
- to hold the boxes and disks required for Windows' programs.
