I think that the antagonistic attitude between these two companies will eventually work against both of them. Obviously, without a Video Toaster, the Amiga's presence in the American market would have been *much* smaller. At the same time, NewTek is going to have to spend R&D money (to do their own box) that they could have avoided. I would imagine that there will not be a Toaster II that takes advantage of the AGA chipset…more likely that it will be a standalone "video workstation", made through and through by NewTek. I, for one, would be quite interested in a NewTek platform, especially if they make it anything like the Amiga. Jonathan
