	Dan, as you say that was last summer. It will be probably
about 9 months since that show aired that they release the toaster. I
imagine that "professional video" is something they've been working
on. I also remember the Video Toaster from AmiExpo NYC last Spring and
I don't remember seeing pixelations, but then again there were all
those rumors about a VCR!
