I agree.  I think that comp.software-eng.multimedia is poor.  This
group is to talk about multimedia as a whole.  I personally am not
interested in doing any kind of software engineering.  I'd much rather
have some computer guru develop the programs.  I just want software
that I can plug and play. :-)

It sure would be nice if we had a productivity tool that would allow me
to design a multimedia presentation for my discipline without having to
learn about programming.  I'm pretty good at clicking buttons and
ticking boxes and selecting from lists.  :-)

I'm sorry, it's been a bad few months and i'm a bit crazy!!!!
