I would like to know WHEN this "Toaster" is going to be released for sale to the public. I've also heard about the comic demo tape, but have yet to find it at my local Amiga dealer's shop. Can anyone provide me with some information on this hot little item? 'Preciate it! - Clint

Seems that Newtek has gotte an FCC approval for Industrial use only at this
time. That means not for sale to consumers yet. I recently talked to the
person responsible for dealer sales and she told me that the holdup was the
printing and packaging at this point. I wouldn't expect to see them shipping
until the middle of October. Some dealers may receive them in the next 2 week
however. Only those dealers who specificly sell to the industrial video
market will have them however as the consumer FCC approval is still pending.

They have such an extensive list of interested customers that they will spend their production time simply filling those orders. After that time, when they have answered all pre-distribution inquiries, they will begin to ship to dealers and distributors. ============================================================================== \ / \ \ / / Sean Schur \ \ / / \ \/ / USENET: schur@isi.edu \ /a\mpyr/ Compuserve: 70731,1102 \/ \ / ideo Plink: OSS259 \/ ==============================================================================
