OK, let's say we made up a chronological list of every set-top box ever
made. Now, we scratch off the CD-32. What other famous ones are left and
what number from first was the CD-32? I think this may be more impervious
to your semantic games :)
Anyway, I guess it depends on how you define set-top (two can play
this...). Isn't a C-64 or Apple ][ a set-top box? Is a Sega Genesis a
set-top? What exactly must a set-top be able to do that these three can't?
