NewTek just announced the "stand alone" Toaster at NAB. It sells for
$4000 (give or take $1-5), and is "compatible" with all brands of
computers.

Oh, the $4000 also includes an A2000 with the "CBM" and "Amiga" logos
removed.

Ok, a Toaster for $1400, an A2000 for $1600 (WAG at an OEM price),
that's still a $1000 pure profit on the "stand alone" Toaster. :-)
