  12.    Speaking of this, I noticed in the latest Radio Shack flyer that they're
  13. touting something called "VES" (for Video Entertainment System) that looks
  14. a WHOLE lot like CD-I, and saying that hundreds of titles will be released
  15. for it by the end of 1992, etc etc...
  16.  
  17.     So is this baby CD-I under a different name, or a whole new machine?
  18. If it's not CD-I I think I'd avoid it like the plague, especially at $700.
  19. Talk about your orphans when CD-I dominates...
  20.  
  21.     If it is CD-I, why isn't it called that?
