But it is much more impressive and intuitive, when you click on an
image and it starts moving in place. Paradise Software Inc. have a demo
which shows a hypermedia newspaper. In that demo there are two images 
which serve as anchors to two movies. When you start the movies they 
will run at the location of the images. I showed the demo to a couple 
of people and all were very impressed.
