I found this article in comp.sys.amiga.graphics and dragged it over here 'cause I thought some people might be interested in it. I think it has some relation to the TT Toaster that was discussed a while ago. I have redirected the follow-up to comp.sys.amiga.graphics (at least tried to).

Yes, it is being marketed this way for the Mac and IBM clones. But there is something else. Tim Jenison (NewTek president) was recently quoted to say that their goal was to produce a stand-alone Toaster for under $1000. They plan on achieving this end by incorporating pieces of the Amiga into the new "black box" toaster. I have heard they have already done some negotiations with Commodore to create this product. %~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~% % ` ' Mark Thompson CONCURRENT COMPUTER % % --==* RADIANT *==-- mark@westford.ccur.com Principal Graphics % % ' Image ` ...!uunet!masscomp!mark Hardware Architect % % Productions (508)392-2480 (603)424-1829 & General Nuisance % % % ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0
