Way to go Rick! However, the key to HyperTV isn't so much what's in it for you -- it's what's in it for the programmer. If you had immediate access to purchase the title electronically the minute Oprah Winfrey announces the Book of the Month, wouldn't it be a win-win situation? If the ability to buy something on a home shopping network or during a late-night infomercial were a click away, wouldn't that be a win-win situation as well? HyperTV, in its most idealistic sense, can grow to shake up the world of electronic commerce as we know it. It's hard not to deny the technology's huge potential. However, absent more thorough proving grounds than a connected teacher's lounge in Philly, it is difficult to gauge how attractive the concept will be in practice. Will someone come up with a better mousetrap by the time HyperTV goes mainstream? Again, the truth is out there, and you're back in the director's seat. --Rick Aristotle Munarriz
