Maybe the >>Amiga marketing dweebs are as big a jerks as arcTANgent... You were doing OK until you came out with this bit, James. >You mean the Amiga isn't dominating the Video/Multimedia market? Oh, for goodness' sake! Take a look at the following line: Newsgroups: comp.multimedia ^^^^^^^^^^ Get the idea? You will find there are other groups for Amiga, NeXT, Macs, PCs &c &c. Why don't you crosspost all your arguments to those groups (don't forget to add comp.sys.atari-st to the newsgroups line) and stay there in future. If you guys want to play in the multimedia newsgroup, try to have something to say about multimedia, OK? Now, to justify my own posting, and to give you all an idea of what this newsgroup is about, let me open something for discussion which I consider to be a little more edifying. Our group is analysing specification requirements for multimedia, and we are looking at synchronisation as being a central requirement of any practical multimedia system. How do you other people out there see this issue? Does anyone have a handle on coping with the criticality/priority problems posed by different data/object types? Looking forward to some constructive discussion, Mark -- ______________________________________________________________________ Mark S Madsen +44-524-65201x3819 msm@comp.lancs.ac.uk Department of Computing, Lancaster University, LA1 4YR, UK ______________________________________________________________________
