Please allow me to make one thing perfectly clear:  I am just curious about
this thing.  I don't want any amiga.zealots to ram anything down my throat.
You see, I am an Atari owner who occasionally browses the c.s.amiga.* groups.
I know relatively little about your machines, but I enjoy reading about
anything that isn't ms-dog or mac, so I snoop around in here a little.

What I am wondering about are the capabilites of the Video Toaster that gets
so many raves among amiga fans.  The amiga has pretty hot video capabilities
right out of the box, so what exactly does this magic box add?

I don't know about your groups, but there has been extremely nasty amiga vs.
atari flaming going on in c.s.atari.st, I do not wish to partake of it.  If
you have some time to kill, just pass me on a little blurb about this device.

Thanks.

Please email, as there is too much traffic at times for me to keep up.
