	I'm Toasting...   and it only cost me $1,800....  of course
	this is only the price to add it to my Amiga... but as anyone
	can see, One can get by with less than $5K (depending on what they 
	want to accomplish).  For anyone to say "It will cost you
	$25,000 to get a Toaster set-up" is making a lot of assumptions
	and is doing the listener a big disservice.

	Like I said.... it ony cost me $1,800 to add it to my system,
	and I SURE didn't have a $23.2K Amiga system!  My current
	system only cost me 8K or so (including my Toaster 'set-up'),
	which includes a SyQuest Drive to store those huge 24 bit 
	frames!
