Its not that Amiga users will be buying the Toaster, its that Video users
will be buying Amiga. 

We are in a recession right now.  But when we come out of it, toys like
Amiga/Toaster will sell.  Many people already have video cameras.

And it doesn't need to "save" Amiga.  Its just one more niche market which
Amiga will have and hold.

Won't the ECS support a VGA monitor with no flicker?
