Excerpt:
The desktop computer has been undergoing a transformation from a text
and numeric processing system to a powerful tool for managing and
communicating all types of digital information. Audio, photo-realistic
images and motion video have joined the ranks of other digital data
types available to application developers [2]. The addition of these
