NewTek's box (ie: The Video Toaster) has been about to be released for so
long that I'd buy just about anything *but* a video toaster.  In effect
it stops development in the industry by getting weak minded buyers such
as yourself to wait 4 years for a nonexistant product while real developers
can't get people to purchase their own *real* products.  Btw: ever notice
how the price of the toaster has changed over the years?
