A local dealer has the Toaster set up, they told me that they'd sell me the whole setup (A2500/20, 8 M ram, Toaster, 3 monitors, and laserdisk player) for under $5000. Add a time base corrector and a video camera, and that's probably under $10000 still. (I don't know what a TBC costs, nor do I really care, I just like the Toaster :-) -- Michael Dinn, Sysop of the Moose's Swamp - Nova Scotia's largest Amiga BBS +1 (902) 463-0483, 3/12/24/48/96/14,400 baud * 170 Megabytes online School: mdinn@ac.dal.ca, dinn@ug.cs.dal.ca | These are my opinions and Work: 01Moose@ac.dal.ca, 01Moose@dalac.bitnet| noone else's.
