References to the Amiga (esp. the Toaster) are popping up everywhere: there's one from PC Magazine, an __IBM ONLY__ magazine (Feb 26, pg 83) in which collumnist John Dvorak wrote "...Whatever the case, the Video Toaster promises to toast dozens of high-end video gear makers INTO BANKRUPTCY. Thanks to innovative hardware and 350,000 LINES OF ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE CODE, it provides about $100,000 worth of power. ----------->Steve Holland<----------- Internet: wildcat!steve@alfalfa.com | "To err is human, but to really foul USENET: ..bu!alphalpha!wildcat!steve | things up requires a computer." <if alfalfa doesn't work, try alphalpha>

I have a Toaster and 5Meg. It does indeed make ToasterPaint practically unusable, but motion removal is NOT a problem. - Andrew Greene
