   The fact I got only one reply (yours, and thanks) gave me the impression
   there is not a whole lot to do with the Amiga in this particulair area,
   maybe this isn't the right place to discuss the subject I don't know
   but I can't see DTV (DeskTopVideo) without multimedia applications.
 
   Word about Apple : They're slaming developers (and the market) with buzz
   words like DTV, Interactive Video, laser disks, Hyper media, etc. etc.
   and they really support you if you're in this area, nuff said ?
 
   Anyone knows if bix is the right place ? If so that would be the reason
   to finally subscribe, although we're overseas :-{
