["Wow! What a cave man!", ZB]

You guys may recall that NewTek showed off the Toaster at MacWorld.

The Feb. 18, issue of MicroTimes reported this (grudgingly no doubt)
in the Mac section. They wrote :

     It seemed too good to be true-a $1600 video board with a multi-input
     production switcher, lots of wild digital effects, 3D animation. . .

     It was too good to be truel. I runs on an Amiga!

Ok so far, they then went on to describe it a bit further, and ended with 
this wierd statement :

     NewTek is thinking of ditching the Amiga and putting everything into
     its own box.

Yeah, sure. Sounds like sour grapes to me on part of the "reporter".
