Re: Amiga Video Toaster in today's world???

Yeah, the flyer was the first affordable non linear system (under $6 Grand) But
better than recording to hard drive is it's ability to playback in realtime
with digital effects. Somewhat primitive compared to what the new Toaster [2]
is capable of, but for home use it's still a great system and I can't see me
giving it up in the near future.
