Hi Anthony/
Thanks (again) for your interest in my posting.
I believe it is encouraging and that much will be seen and
much remains to be seen [:-)] with embedded multimedia in
e-journals.
I believe that the incorporation of embedded multimedia can be
facilitated by the promotion (development?) of integrated multimedia
authoring systems. But here, there is he essential question of skill
and time. [Could it be that creation of multimedia adjuncts will be
the next stage of scholarly writing? / scholarship?] [Stay Tuned {:-)]
Thanks again for your comments!

BTW: You may be interested in an *excellent* article
on Embedded Multimedia that appeared two years ago in
the _Journal of Electronic Publishing_ published by the
University of Michigan Press written by Keith L. Seitter
and Judy Holoviak entitled:
_Earth Interactions_: Transcending the Limitations of the
Printed Page" at: http://www.press.umich.edu/jep/03-01/EI.html
The Subtitle Says It All!
