Re: MCM - Digest V1 #81

Karen, I too have only seen the prototype. Wasn't the video of the Siamese
ALgae Eater neat! I did not have the same trouble that Karen had starting
the CD, and because of the general techy sophistication of the product, I
have confidence that the production model will be more user friendly. It
also has synthesized music.

After hearing the discussion, however, I reduce my initial suggested
"potential AGA order." Ten or Twenty is a much more logical number. It is
really hard to say how popular aquarium CD's will be. In Europe, they do
well. There are some presumably large ones that sell for $50 each. I am not
familiar with any in serial format. Like Karen, they do not appeal to me.
But there are different needs for different people. One application that I
can see is for people taking them to their office. My office frowns on
people using the INTERNET for personal purposes, but does not seem to mind
if someone uses a CD. It may also be something great to accompany a lap top
on a business trip... especially with a long flight! 

Since I am again ready to participate on the net, I can provide the AGA
response back to Khew. What is your pleasure?
