You guys may recall that NewTek showed off the Toaster at MacWorld.
The Feb. 18, issue of MicroTimes reported this (grudgingly no doubt)
in the Mac section. They wrote :
It seemed too good to be true-a $1600 video board with a multi-input
production switcher, lots of wild digital effects, 3D animation. . .
It was too good to be truel. I runs on an Amiga!
Ok so far, they then went on to describe it a bit further, and ended with
this wierd statement :
NewTek is thinking of ditching the Amiga and putting everything into
its own box.
Yeah, sure. Sounds like sour grapes to me on part of the "reporter".

This was in the BMUG section, not the Mac section per se. BMUG (Berkeley Mac Users' Group), at least the people in it who write the BMUG articles for MicroTimes, have long had a totally irrational attitude towards the Amiga, considering it only useful as an object of abuse and derision. Very strange, considering that the majority of BMUG people are quite helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, and all that, and think the Amiga is pretty neat, although they do not (of course) believe it's better than a Mac. -- +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Michael J.
