Tom mentions he'd like to hear from toaster owners what they thought
about the toaster.

Well I've had mine for just over a day now and managed to pick up most
of the concepts fairly quickly so it seems the system is pretty
intuitive.  The question/gripe I have is with Lightwave 3D (the
toaster's 3D renderer).  From what I gathered from the manual and from
trying out various things with it the program is only capable of doing
animation if you had a single frame controller.  Granted 700K of info
is a lot to load to try and do animation but surely there must be some
means or program out there that will create difference pictures like
the ANIM format.  Is there any tool to do this? How much does a
single frame controller cost?
