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. 😎 — Ethan
