I think you will find that the advertises and marketing droids jumped onto the 'multi-media' buzzword almost as soon as it was uttered. Their idea of multimedia was a MS-DOS machine with EGA graphics and a multi-media expansion kit which involved a CD-ROM drive and a really old Soundblaster sound card with wav tables on it.
I have to admit that I remember sniggering at the time of the PC multi-media expansions around, especially when my Amiga did so much more out of the box.
Whilst I think the CDTC was in the right direction, it was an aborted attempt by commodore to jump onto the bandwagon. If they took a little more time with it, it may have been OK. Unfortunately, it is only something which has really taken off in the last few years. Think PS3 etc where you watch movies, listen to music as well as play games, all via the same box on your TV set.
