- My boss just said he'd bet me 100 pounds (~US$200) that the Video Toaster
- would be an "unsupported product" (ie. dead) within two years, since it was
- getting outdated, and other systems were doing newer features for less cost.
- He said it just hadn't caught on.

- (My boss owns a company that sells Macs - I am currently doing some
- programming work on them for him until I've paid off a couple of debts, and
- not one second longer. :-) )
-
- Question is: Is he correct? Why? Why not?
