[Don't flame me for posting to this newsgroup, we don't have
the new ones out here yet]

Our local NBC affiliate, KRON has a weekly spot called "The Next Step",
on future things.

Last week they did a report from MackWorld on Computer Video applications
of the future.

After showing some high end mac products they focussed their report
on, you guessed it, the Toaster. NewTek actually had the courage to
venture in on enemy turf.

On a slightly different note, in the Jan. 7 issue of InfoWorld, there
was an announcement of a multimedia product for SparcStations from
Tiger Media. They also include software to permit presentations to
be ported over to the "Commodore Business Machines Inc. Commodore/Amiga
video toasters". Interesting how they failed to capitalize "video
toaster", suggesting that it is becoming  term illustrating a class
of peripheral (sp?) as opposed to a particular product.

Any opinions are my own since nobody else would ever want them.
