Nope.  But at least everyone who's answered has the right Author.

What would you like to know?

We are planning in June to have our monthly MEdioMagazine have a new 
interface, which in essence makes it a hybrid product.  It will still have 
lots of content on the CD, especially full feature articles, video clips, etc.
However, it will then be integrated with the Internet, via our WEB server.
When the user brings up the magazine, and enters a certain section, it contacts
the WEB server, and downloads an index/listing of the current news articles,
pictures, whatever, and integrates them with the content on the CD.  Seamless
to the user.  Over time, as the pipe to the user via the internet gets bigger
and can handle transfers of video clips in less than 10 minutes (!!) then these
will also be integrated from the Net.  That's the idea in a nutshell.

Thanks for asking!  Have fun!!
