- As far as I know (heard from an unreliable source), there won't be a Toaster
- for the PC machines. The Toaster can _only_ be made on Amiga. It's some kind
- of misunderstanding when people speak about a Video Toaster for the Mac. That
- is because NewTek had one at some Macintosh exhibition or something once. It
- didn't have anything to do with the Mac, but the word Amiga was never
- mentioned. The Mac version of the toaster came with "A full WIMP multitasking
- operating system, 880k diskdrives..." (all this was an A2000 with a Video
- Toaster, it was called Video Toaster Workstation or something).
-
- I am not sure about anything of the above, so don't flame me if I'm wrong.
