Hmm..I don't care if you hate those flames.  As far as I'm concerned..the
toaster is a non-product even if it does come to market.  I can't bring myself
to do business with a company that can lie and string people along like that
and I feel it has hurt the Amiga graphics industry more than it has helped it.

I, for one, agree with the guy who said something like "It better be a
microwave because my bread is toasted" or something.

I feel that Newtek has been very irresponsible with this "Toaster" thing and I
will be banning the product.  I have information from other sources informing
me of other products that will compete with the alledged Newtek BS product and
I would much rather purchase items of that cost from a company that isn't
lying to the public.
