I have been a computer hobbyist for many years and am now very interested in making a break into the multi-media field. I want to start a business that deals primarily with educational and training projects. My questions are: 1) What are some good books and magazines to read? 2) What computer is most popular for multi-media? 3) What is used more, Video tapes or laser disks? 4) What would be a good setup for a beginner? 5) Who makes the cards that display both computer and video data on the same screen? 6) What is the usual procedure to record video images on a laser disk or a video tape? 7) What programs are good for animation? 8) How is the educational market? Is it saturated? Please send me Email or even post it on the Net and we can get some discussion going. Thanks, Tom Feliz tomf@jarthur.claremont.edu
