- I saw a CDTV demo on October 10. I never had a chance to really
- use one until then I had some disc with lots of foreign countries, languages,
- and pictures. All I can say is that when this little CDTV put pictures on the
- screen, I wondered why I hadn't seen any that beautiful on my Amiga yet...
-
- HAM8 is another story on its own, and is beautiful. I am upset now
- that I don't have AGA chips.
