In various embodiments, the simplified messaging system comprises a mail transport server that receives and forwards electronic messages, a mail registration server comprising an images component that stores images associated with user identifications and user passwords, and a mail client that receives a selection of an image identifying a user and multiple images associated with a password of the user, and logs the user into an electronic messaging system when the images are selected.

Simplified electronic messaging system

A multimedia system specifies a multimedia experience stream by a narrative definition that defines a narrative presentation having sub-narratives. Each sub-narrative may incorporate multiple streams of different types of media with each stream defining a 'path' through content of that media type. The multimedia system directs the presentation of the sub-narratives by interfacing with presentation components for each media type through a custom interface component for that media type that implements a common application interface. When a user pauses a presentation, the user can manually navigate around the content of a stream from the current location at the time of the pause to another location. When the user resumes the presentation, the multimedia system automatically transitions from the navigated-to location to the current location at the time of the pause to resume the presentation from where it was paused.
