- I suppose that is all about the little DCTV card for CDTV which CBM had
- sitting on one of the countertops at their booth at the just ended
- Winter/CES in Las Vegas. I have heard both sides of the story on this
- device from "it's still pending release" to "it has been shelved."
-
- I couldn't get the straight poop about the AVM or the alleged rumored
- AGA-based CDTV-II from anyone at their booth at the show.
