Enter the Amiga and Video Toaster.  This combination is perfect for doing away
with the need for sophisticated skill (and vastly expensive
equipment)...reminds me of DTP and how the simplified GUI of the Mac and the
relative inexpense of the Laserwriter made it the perfect combination. 
Businesses are looking to make video the language of business communication now
and the hype of the Toaster is going to perk up their ears!  I think the
busines types are smart enough to put 2 and 2 together and put an amiga into
every board room in America (okay maybe not but I can hope, and this *IS*
