 Commodore - New multimedia machine tries to blend best of computer, TV
	{The Wall Street Journal, 14-Jan-91, p. B6}
   At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Commodore displayed the first
 fruits of its effort to create a multimedia machine. The $999 "CDTV" player
 is the size of a regular CD player. It contains an Amiga computer and a device
 that can play compact audio disks or display on a TV screen the images and
 data stored on a CD. The unit is controlled, not by a keyboard, but by a
 remote, hand-held device that works like a TV channel changer. Initially,
 Commodore has line up some 30 software titles for the machine, ranging in
 price from $30 to $100. These include versions of popular reference works such
 as the Guiness Book of Records as well as educational games from the software
 arms of Disney and LucasFilm.
