I've been interested in information services for over 20 years and 
was directly involved in the development of the world's largest 
information service. 

My concern in the early days was that the service was somewhat limited; 
it didn't have the capability of delivering images very well, there was no 
audio and I always felt that for the service to achieve wide distribution it 
would have to come much closer to the common denominator that we all 
relate to, which is television.  CD ROM allows us to take a major step in 
that direction.
 
Because of its massive storage capability and, therefore, its bandwidth 
in delivering images to a personal computer, we can come a long way 
toward what information services will eventually become.
