Hello, I have to reply on the Toaster. I was at Chicago ami-expo (Drove
from NJ) and was disapointed to see nothing but a Cardboard Box with wires
coming out of it connected to a Camera and a monitor. They had a looping
effect that was pre-programmed (I guess) and it was manipulating the live
video from the camera. However, they showed no one what was in the box, and
didnt answer any questions (The resolution it supports/ how many bit
planes/ price etc. etc) that i asked! Who the hell knows if they had a real
ADO in that box! I am starting to think that the whole thing really did
start as a joke, and now they cant come up with the goods! Why couldnt they
show anyone this board or answer any questions? Whats so wrong about
showing a prototype ? They did it with that large screen monitor (The one
with the board stuck to the back & the holes drilled.)? What gives at
NewTech?!?!?
Very often, companies don't show the actual circuit board, because they don't
want their competitors studying how it works. I've seen the real Toaster
boards, up close, and have heard very detailed explanations of how it works.
So it is a real thing, it's just not being sold yet. That's too bad, I wish
they had it out, too.
