The Vision The Wired Age brings a revolution not only in the way we communicate, but also in the way we think, and the way we imagine. The medium and the message are so closely tied, that if our methods of communicating remain limited, so too will our thoughts, ideas, and imagination. As the communication network grows around the world, it brings with it the potential of creating new metaphors for conveying thought. Our old communication metaphors, the linearly paged book, the slide presentation, the scrolling text editor, and the page layout editor, are solutions that primarily suggest the printed medium. Using them, our thoughts and imaginings remain two dimensional, just like two dimensional printed paper. Using these metaphors, our imaginations also tend to remain localized for the most part, to two dimensions. MetaMind Software develops tools which allow you to construct environments for conveying ideas in ways which are best for you. No longer will your expressions of thought be limited to two dimensional metaphors, when really you want to move far beyond traditional modes of presentation. You can begin to do that now with Page Composer! Lite , and soon, far more aggressively with Page Composer! Grand. The latest version of Page Composer! Lite will always be available on our web site (www.nbn.com/people/minds) as an introductory product which we hope you find useful and continue to use until you really discover the power of communicating in documents constructed on your own terms. when that happens, try Page Composer! Grand, coming to you in the first quarter of 1997, quite likely at San Francisco MacWorld. You'll be in for a real treat! About Page Composer! Lite Page Composer! Lite is a completely flexible, OpenDoc compliant tool for constructing contexts within which meaning can be conveyed in any form. It currently supports linearly paged, single sectioned, electronic documents of any length. Grand will support complex, multiply sectioned, hyper-connected, electronic documents. and will move us further away from the printed standard of communication. Think of Page Composer! as the Docker of choice for OpenDoc compliant parts. Drop them into Page Composer! and go about your business creating the kind of documents you want. Using them and the features you find in Page Composer!, you will be able to construct any environment you want for conveying the thoughts floating through your imagination. Because it is OpenDoc compliant, Page Composer! gives you the flexibility to embed specialized parts that do what you want: Virtual Reality viewers, 3D editors, data and graphing analyzers and so forth. OpenDoc's linking mechanisms allow these conveyors to communicate among themselves, synergizing meaning in ways that simply were not possible in the old pre-wired age. ----------------------------------------------------------- Internet Connection File Libraries.
