Unless, this is one of those discs that teach film techniique interactivly? Seriously, why is it that there were a ton of people interested in having a group started for the discussion of interactive videodisc and how it pertained to training. And now no one puts anything in here? So does anyone know of any new authoring systems or languages that allow easier use of IVD? Has any seen any good things done with HyperCard and Videodisc? I hear that Apple has some very intereting programs out. Anyone seen any?
