Abstract

Over the last two and half years, I have been in the unique position helping to create CD-I discs while at the same time, I was the first end-user of CD-I in the United Kingdom. From the onset, it was always our intention to make a consumer disc as well as the museum discs, but it was a secondary consideration. Our first objective was to finish and open the British Golf Museum and then take things from there. On the surface, it might appear that a disc or discs for use within a museum require a very different treatment than one designed for home use; but as we all know, appearances can be deceptive.
