The Screamer
Hi, Jim!
I think NewTek will work it this way: Continue to develop the capabilities
of the Screamer within the Amiga/Toaster/Toasterlink(Mac) sphere, and
leave it to 3rd parties to tap into the Screamer the same way that they
left FrameStore image manipulation to be figured out by 3rd parties.
Ultimately, it would be sheer folly for any of us to hazard a guess at
what the top secret NewTek has in store for the users. To better
understand what the heads of NewTek feel about the future of NewTek and
computers in general, you should read the August issue of Video Toaster
User. It has an interview with Jim Jenison and Paul Montgomery.
Even by releasing what they do of the Screamer, NewTek would have to see
that the market would sustain the product before even considering
expanding it to other platforms. Just saying it would do well doesn't make
it so. The Screamer is VERY promising, but like anything, it's also a
gamble. Remember, there was a multi-processor card for the Amiga 2000 a
few years ago and Atari had a multi-processor machine. Both died quickly.
I agree, however, that things are definitely starting to get interesting!
