Hi Ho:
So Hot News and Rumers huh? Probablly the most exciting thing to
happen to the amiga ever and people have just stoped talking aboutabout it.
Amiga World Said that the Video Toaster is suposed to ship the middle of
this mounth (SEPT.) I haven' seen any one even hint about it. Could it be
that people have waited so long that they have lost interest. I don't think
so… But, seriously folks, Dose any one konw any thing more about this
products readyness??? Oh yea by the way why is it that over in VENDOR there
is no sign of the NewTech board. I know it's there because when I upload a
message I am asked where to put it and the Newtech board is an opption.
Thanks Brad Hayes
Brad,
Your guess is as good as anyone's guess as to when the Toaster will
finally be available.
Don
Brad,
The NewTek representative checks that board regularly. It is possible that
he might be out of town for a few days or some such, but her is very
regular in checking the messages there most of the time.

Hi Betty
I left a message last night, and had a response this evening. I was
just curious why the board it's self never seems to be avialible from the
message section???
Thanx Brad Hayes
I, for one, am glad the "Toaster Talk" has died down. The thing has
been talked about for YEARS and it is STILL vaporware! Talk of AmigaDOS
2.0 compatibility has been squelched until it has been officially released
and I feel that, until the produce is actually purchaceable, there is
little use in speculation on the Toaster. I do feel the product will be
released but we've been put off so many times before with this product that
I have serious doubts we will see it in September, the umpteenth release
date.
Brad, I think you hit it on the nose: The Video Toaster is not a new
product. It is a 2.5+ year old product that appears to be closing in on
release. Of course, NewTek still hasn't released the Penn and Teller
videotape yet…
The product has been more than discussed and at this point there is
nothing to be said until it is released.

Brad-
I think in semi-professional and professional markets, the Toaster will
be an important product for the Amiga…but at $1600, don't look for the
average dealer to be selling them hand over fist to the average user.
Tim
Yea, I must agree with you there. Then again I consideded my self
an average AMIGA user (who worked in television) until I acedentally on
purpuse let my director see somthing I was working on. Now I am swamp a
week asking if I have the toaster yet.
Brad Hayes
that last line should read somthing like " Now I am swapmed with work, and
I get a phone call about once a week asking if I have the toaster yet."
Just an illiterat Fool. Brad Hayes
