Clearly you're not familiar with the miserably lousy offerings companies like Comcast are selling us. It's not hard to imagine better tech coming out of 1995. But note he said "8 years after", implying that it was surpassed in the 2003 timeframe.]]>Jan 24th 2009 1:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/Jan 24th 2009 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/Jan 24th 2009 3:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/23/prototype-apple-interactive-television-box-up-for-auction-there/

I bet someones kicking themselves now.
