I too was shocked to hear they were still trying to become a "player". I knew they were still around but had no clue as to why...

Wow. I haven't played with VideoToaster in a long time. At least 10 years. Didn't iMovie, Windows Movie Maker, and you know, computers in general kill off that platform?

Sure, we know you and your Video Toaster have been gutted over this whole AmigaOS 4 debacle... what's that? You've never heard of <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/23/amigaos-4-reviewed/">OS 4</A>? You didn't know Amiga was still around? You hadn't heard that Bill McEwan, CEO of Amiga says the company's next OS is going to be "better than OS X?" Well time to perk up those ears, kiddo. In a truly enthralling read, the head of the <STRIKE>defunct</STRIKE> hardware-maker / software company says that Amiga is hard at work on a <A href="http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/24/amiga-returns-to-the-hardware-game-promises-two-new-ppc-desktop/">number of projects</A>, not the least of which is the follow up to company's OS 4 -- which has been mired in development disputes with a company called Hyperion Entertainment since 2001 -- AmigaOS 5. A piece of software guaranteed to surprise and thrill the technology community at large, mostly (we suspect) due to the fact that no one even knew the company was still in business. Sure, some of the detractors say they haven't released a product in seven years, but what's seven years when you've got that pile of platinum that is OS 5? <EM>Exactly</EM>.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1D1250CE-4D86-41EA-AAF0-6156CDA43244/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
