But there is presently nothing like the Video Toaster, especially for $2500, available for the IBMs. The question should not be which machine is better. This is a never-ending discussion much like politics. IBM offer more business software, bar none. IBM machines are getting into video and multimedia but in an expensive way. Again nothing around will match the features of the Video Toaster available only for the Amiga. David, keep your IBM to run Windows. As I stated before, the Amiga does not need Windows to run its own software. It may be less expensive to get a clone to run your IBM software and leave the Amiga for the Toaster, although you can run both at the same time. Rendering would slow your cpu down a bit while heavy multi-tasking. If you haven't already, call 1-800-765-3406 to obtain a free copy of the Video Toaster Video. CG, a 3D program called LightWave, Toaster Paint a 24 bit paint program, many DVEs and a 4 input production studio are just some of the Toaster's features. You will still need to purchase, if you don't have already, TBCs and likely some quality VCRs. Check out the video, if you haven't already. You'll be glad you did. BTW, IBMs and Macs are also fine machines. But I challenge any side-by-side multitasking between IBMs and Amigas (with similar MIPs). Patrick White "Saving my bread for a toaster."
