Miguel, For MODS, if there aren't libraries one can at least multitask an ARexx compatible program such as EDPlayer and use it to play the music. One of the key benefits of a m/ting OS. I like the Director but there are certain things that are more complicated and it's graphic rendering support seems slow. I wish it had more builtin features to assist in development, as well. With AV, I suspect it's strongest feature is the dBIII support. Apparently version 2 is is also better to use. I still prefer a text script, even if I'm not a programmer. I only know a bit about PC apps but one of the key features is that they are expensive. Even the low end versions are twice the price of Amiga versions and don't have the benefit of m/ting, as I pointed out. For the HIGH end, such as AuthorWare, (which don't have any real comparable Amiga titles) are more expensive than a complete Amiga system. AW, for example has a "special" Canadian price of $6495 (about US $6k) and doesn't even include an unlimited license. Other products generally seem to be over $1000. I recently went to IMEC (Interactive Multimedia Ex & Conf, or sumthin') and saw a number of ed programs but none that you mentioned. (It was poorly attended). When I say to lay people that I'm interested in CBT they still look at me strangely and say there's no money in education… Would you say that the majority of applications are directed at children or adults? I guess the development goals are largely different for each group. I guess the resistance to arcade type stuff is the fear that the children will have fun and not learn anything. After all, education can't be fun :-). I think I mentioned that I'm in the process of learning C but I wasn't sure if it was worth while. Of coarse, to manage or advise for something one needs to at least be able to understand the process. Would a more accurate term for you be Project Manager? The telephone CD project that I'm potentially getting into right now will essentually put me in the position of project manager/techy advisor. I'm quite torn because it isn't in an area of interest (corporate services) and there is the potential that I won't make any money for my time. But then, with my lack of experience, doing this would be a nice feather in my cap and any professional experience would be good experience. Oh, decisions, decisions. I waver from hour to hour. At least I don't expect to LOSE any money… I share skill number one: techy junky. Number two, manager, is my weak area. Hopefully I will be able to build up that part. So your promotion isn't confirmed. Well, best of luck. Andrew
