It is worth getting the MultiMedia article, but I don't think you need a
color version. All of the technical content is contained in the MultiMedia
article. I will work on getting some of the info (maybe the comic strip)
up on the web so that people can look at it. Our web server is
"http://www.merl.com/" but there is nothing specific about that particular
project yet.
