Computer Chronicles is affliated with Byte? I don't remember hearing that. As for the PC and Mac Toasters, you're going to have to live with the fact that the Amiga will be treated as a peripheral on those machines. Is that so bad? Those users will eventually come around to the Amiga if they want to take advantage of the character generator, LightWave, or ChromaFX in the Toaster. With the PC and Mac Toasters, they aren't getting much more than transition effects in the Switcher. At the moment, NewTek is wowwing them at MacWorld with a transparent link between the Mac and the Toaster: edit a picture on the Mac, zap it over to Toaster Paint, add CG titles, etc. and zap it back to the Mac. Neat, huh? Even a PC or Mac user is smart enough to recognize that something with a monitor, mouse and keyboard is probably a computer of some kind. They'll figure out that the Toaster is an Amiga. Some of them won't care. Others will figure out just what it means: multitasking without lockups and/or eight megs of memory per app. That, my friend, will do much more to promote the Amiga than the paranoid ravings of your average BBS denizen. 🙂
