 Luckily I'm a Mac owner. An Amiga owner would laugh his head off at this
idea. Do you have any idea of what the toaster can do? If not try and catch
Tod Rundgren's latest video. It *easily* rivals what I have seen from Pixar
and SGI. It could easily do the Lifesaver ad.
 I don't have all the specs on this product, but similar Mac boards look like
a JOKE when compared with the toaster.
 Remember - I'm a Mac owner, not an Amiga fanatic.
