Victor, here's a suggestion: Call 800-843-8934. That is the number
for NewTek, maker of the Video Toaster. Ask them to send you their two
video-tapes demoing the Video Toaster. If you tell them that you intend to
review the product (whether you do or not is irrelevant) then they'll
probably send it for free.
The Video Toaster is the current "sensation" in the Amiga video
market. You also might want to take a look at the wide variety of 3-D
modelling software available, besides what is included with the Toaster.
Publish magazine made that mistake. They published an article that talked
about multimedia/blah/blah and basically made it out that the Video Toaster
is the only thing for the Amiga. They published a letter ASAP.
Another point to note is that Amiga owners write LOTS of letters.
Magazine editors don't like us one bit. 😎 Almost every magazine I've ever
seen that covered the Amiga "badly" has printed letters ASAP from annoyed
Amiga owners.
Even Time Magazine had to do it. They used Commodore as an example
of a struggling computer company, which at the time they weren't, and they
got such a barrage of letters that they sent out a form letter to everyone
who wrote and published two of them soon after under the title "Amiga
Amigos" 😎 We're very vocal, as you've noticed. 😎
