The term "multi-media" has been in use since the first time anyone ever
added sound to a slide show. Mammals and other products with sound
(including some awesome games soon to be released) are multi-media products
that have nothing to do with the "multi-media PC" or "multi-media
extensions". Their sound output is provided through the normal CD-ROM
stereo line outputs. You don't need a sound board or anything else
associated with the new "multi-media extensions".
Products that require multi-media extensions for Windows specifically state
this. We do not sell any such products at this time. That's why I said we
don't have the extensions — our products don't require them.

Wow! Thanks Bryan for finally dropping that simple fact. If the rest of the
CD world is as confused over MM, Mammals, MMext etc as I was (is) and
having some three CDROM players that have and dont have audio ports, do and
dont do have buffers of adequate size and access times of 300 to 600 ms it
is really nice someone told me that the audio on Mammals will come out of
my audio channels, and that the animation will work on even the slower
drives (allbeit jerky). It is nice to know that most of the confusion is
caused by the simultanious use of the term MULTIMEDIA to mean anything to
anyone. Remember, it was many years before the term HiFi was understood in
video recording but today seems to mean a specific audio technology. By the
way, I never received a card for the second bundle buy and finally received
it after much and many efforts. I still haven't received the card for the
third bundle. I hope its still in the mail and I don't have to repeat the
run around from last time (nine phone calls, and a 200 mile trips to Canoga
Park). Thanks for your presence here on CIS.

Bob,
We haven't sent out cards yet on the third bundle. We need a little time
to create the mailer, but I'll let you know when it goes out so you can
watch for it.
