| Was newtek showing the toaster on the A3000? Last I heard you had to remove
the back of the A3000 case and replace one of the custom chips to do this...

No, they weren't showing it on an A3000 (it was something in the
2000 line) ...
By the way, there's a great 2-page article on the Video Toaster
in the latest Rolling Stone. I think the two guys on this
Computer Chronicles show were the two interviewed in this article
(at least the name Montgomery sounds familiar). They were pretty
cool in the interview. Asked why they're based in Topeka Kansas
one replied that the other originally followed some girl into
town and then they just "never approached escape velocity". When
they were developing the Toaster their shop had a sign on it that
said something like "Nuclear Waste Disposal Systems (Where Your
Family's Health is All But Assured)". They go roller-skating on
Main Street during lunch, etc. etc.

PS: There was a big article on CDTV on the front page of the B
Section of last Friday's Wall Street Journal.

| The only ones I saw were on the show that follows America's Funniest
Home Videos (America's Funniest Peeples, or something to that effect),
which were done on a Mac (at least that's what they showed) and they
were quite good by Mac standards, but IMHO downright lame by Ami standards.
I've seen some Disney Animation Studio pencil sketches done on an
Amiga that were miles ahead of the "so-called" finished work I saw last
night. Someone give Eric Schwartz (sp?) a nudge and tell him to submit
some of his stuff (done on "Moviesetter" of all things!).

There was also quite a lot of CDTV converage on NPR this
morning, as part of some consumer electronics show (I missed the
intro).Anyway, it sounded good, they just threw some doubt on how much
would get developed for it..... "IT" not being major platform based,
etc.

| 4790.6 | CDTV at THE Consumer Electronics Show | CADSYS::CADSYS::MURATORI | Rich Muratori, SEG/CAD, HLO2 | Tue Jun 04 1991 13:20 | 9 |
| Re .5:
I heard the full report. They were reporting from THE Consumer
Electronics Show - the biggie held every year in Chicago where all next
year's Christmas goodies are being promoted. I was surprised that CDTV
was singled out as the device they focused on for the report. It must
have generated a lot of interest at the show.
