So after having continued faith in the wake of evidence to the contrary, I
have kept faith that NewTek would bring forth the Video Toaster before the end
of this school year.  I have called over the past few months and been kind and
curtous to the people there, despite others' growing resentment.  I have never
blamed NewTek for the delays (I'm sure they're as eager to get the Toaster out
as we are to get out greedy hands on it), but I am starting to look for
temporary alternatives.  

I called NewTek today thoroughly expecting that the Toaster would be shipping
in a few weeks as they suggested in my last call, but, alas, all they could
tell me was that it would be out in "The Spring."  So I pose this question to
all of you...

Has anyone used or seen the Mimetics Frame Buffer.  I would be interested to
hear of any experiences that people have had with it, especially with
transfering ray traced pictures to it.  I'm not sure it is shipping yet
either, but I seen ads for it, so it seems quite likley.  

Thanks in advance!!!!

P.S. I hope the NewTekkers get the Toaster out.  It still looks great amd when
it comes out I plan to upgrade if I actually have purchaced the Frame Buffer.
