Applications of CD Technology
There are many ways this subject could be organized. We have taken the approach of trying to name some possible uses of CDs, and then the tools used to accomplish those purposes. This list is just a beginning. This section will probably grow to be one of the largest in the entire site since there are so many things that can be done with CDs. More articles and pages will be added all the time, so check here often.
Visit the section in the Techniques area devoted to Multimedia tools and Authoring Systems, edited by Joseph L. Elkhorne of Melbourne, Australia: Newbies' Corner to read all about it.
