I was browsing through available notes groups this morning when I ran
across one called "comp.multimedia". I thought this might be a place to
find more information on the Amiga so I took a look. To my surprise, out of
the over 70 posts, only one even mentioned the Amiga, and that was in
response about .MOD files.

Now it seems to me that this would be a great group to advocate the Amiga
in. I am not talking about our typical advocacy (my computer is better
than your computer) crap but simply answering peoples general questions,
by informing them of multimedia solutions provided by the Amiga. This
seems like a great way of giving the several MAC and MS-DOS users I saw
there some insight to the Amiga.

So, I urge all you multimedia types to check out this notes group and
provide helpful (please don't start flame wars) information where you can.
I would do it but I am not much of an expert in this area.

For my part, I am including an article (I hope it's ok to do this) I found
there which is a call for papers for a conference to include multimedia
topics. I urge anyone who has expertise in this field to develop a paper
which is Amiga related and submit it.
