MultiMedia is more than computerized info systems. This is
called "hypertext".

MultiMedia includes - that's right, multiple media. Like, sound
and pictures and video disc and printouts at the same time. lots
of nifty hardware there.

MultiMedia is a better way of okpresenting unstructured information
than producing a glossy brochure or video tape.

My opinion is that the best multi-media engine available is a
mac with a 24bit monitor running HyperCard 2.0 - unbeatable !
