- : that brought you CDTV.
-
- Uh oh! :( Thats bad :I
-
- : actually *care* about the technology. What a concept. One of the main
-
- The technology!? Well.. thats bad.. they care about the technology not about
- the users!
-
- : Our set-top boxes are architecturally similar to the current Amiga

- and also MAmigas (multimedia amigas :)). The ITVs will be just for the
- publick and the computers will be for serious people , who want to do
- everything. Make them both compatible... make the Computer compatible with

- they will make ITVs/. I HOPE NOT.
