Multimedia refers to the used of additional extra media like
sound card (like Sound Blaster), video laser disk (even though the
data from the laser disk does not go thru the computer, the disk
is controlled by the computer so that any scene from the disk can
be sent to a regular TV screen any time the computer feels like
it), etc, in a computer program for presentation purpose.  The
only sure thing I know is that Mr Gates is going to get another
billion out of us!
