To further clarify my post about the Video Toaster on the TT (and answer some of the questions raised by Mark Choi), let me just say the following.. The information I have is basically the same as Lee Seiler's (in the Lexicor response). I have heard from, shall we say, "reliable sources" that a TT to Video Toaster combination has been considered. I do not know if work is continuing on this project (but I sure hope it is). As for the companies/third parties involved in the project, I could name names, but since (at the moment) this is more of a rumor than anything else, naming people wouldn't serve a purpose, since the information may not be accurate. Personally (this is my opinion), I remain a "Toaster Believer." I think that we may well see it on the TT some day. When, I don't know. From whom, I can't say. The original posting regarding the Toaster was probably not done as well as it should have been, since Lexicor doesn't have anything to do with the project and Lee's (apparently misquoted) response over the phone was completely false. I'm not faulting anyone in particular; it was simply a lack of communication somewhere. Now that Lee has made his response, things seem to be more or less straightened out, and all we can do is cross our fingers in the hope that the prospect of a TT/Video Toaster is true. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- David Johnson djohnson@ibm.cl.msu.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
