I ran my CDTV as a computer for years, using a fair number of apps on it. But the hardware expansion is rather limited and thus constrains what apps are comfortable there. CDTV does in effect function as an Amiga 500 though, with a CD drive. I have Megachip inside, and keyboard and mouse adapters and floppy drive. I was going to get a 2.5 hard drive and interface but wound up traipsing elsewhere.
