I swear, some people will complain about anything, no matter how good it
is.  The reason that a TBC is not built-in to, or included with the Toaster
is that the target market already owns TBCs.  Why would they want another
one?  For the unfortunate folks who want everything for nothing (and don't
happen to own a TBC), buy the Toaster and use it as a 24-bit card with the
excellent 3D rendering software included.  Ignore the paint program till
they come up with a real one and ignore the video toasting ('cept between
frame buffers and stable sources) till you can afford a TBC!  End of story.
