Randy: One reference I left out (because it sort of ignores the Amiga, and is quite misleading in that respect) is an article on page 872 of the December Computer Shopper that talks about the Video Toaster… it really deals with NewTeks introduction of the "stand-alone toaster workstation" designed to allow Macintosh computers to controller the Amiga based toaster, but points out much of it's ability and value. If you show this to 'the powers that be' at your institution, be sure to point out the gross neglect of the author who stated "It is a self contained-system, which performs many of the Video Toaster functions from a window on the Macintosh, requiring no host computer". That statement is completely false, as the Toaster card is actually mounted in an Amiga 2000 series computer with the Amiga logo covered with a Video Toaster label, under a VAR agreement with Commodore (and, in the case of the 68030 based machine, GVP-Great Valley Products). – Whapp!ng from the North Coast Michael
