- On the Mind Extension University I used to watch a course (tele/BBS/LIVE)
- from George Washington U about techno in the secondary classroom. One
- whole segment was devoted to "Ulysses". I'm not sure where others got their
- info on this, but Gardner's correct. It was more than a blackboard. The
- segment was not simple the IBM demo, but a description (actually video
- history) of how the material was used in class. Some one on this board
- complained earlier that you could not set up active links; well in the
- version I saw there had been changes made to the link structure.
- Additional student commentaries had been added. I was impressed--except
- with the cost. But then, Amigas have been doing this sort of thing longer
- (and for less cost) than anyone else (I believe even longer than Apple),
- and hasn't NeXT been on the edge also? Surely with their DSP that platform
- should be far ahead of any other in FMV and DigiSound. (See following post
- for more NeXT material.)
