bender writes "About a decade after the release of of the NewTek Video Toaster for the Amiga, OpenVideoToaster is now hosting the source code of the software! The Video Toaster ushered in the age of affordable desktop video in 1991 and was used in products such as Babylon 5 and Jurassic Park."
Suck it Lunix fags!
You're using 10 year old crap hardware and software. Wake up and buy a real computer, you piece of shit fanatic. You look like a jerk to everyone else in the business.
It's only a pile electronics, not a girlfriend or something! You don't need to feel bad for throwing it away!
linus has stated that /dev/vagina support will never be added to linux. However, support for /dev/penis and /dev/anus is rivalled only by OS X.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
Wow, those screenshots prove conclusively that the Amiga Scene really was just a bunch of kids that were/are too poor to afford a Mac.
BTW, why would you even want to run "old Amiga programs"? That stuff is all completely primitive and obsolete, even by opensource standards.
The toaster was nothing but a poorly-engineered fucking hack. As is clearly evident by the fact that no one could get it to work with custom FPGAs afterwards.
your a supercilious bastard, arne't you?
CNN has editing and switching devices that are just SLIGHTLY more powerful than a toaster. Slightly in the same way that a Mack truck has slightly more towing capacity than a 5-year old on a bike.
I have a feeling this is just an Amiga fanboy rumour to make themselves feel good (you haven't met a real zealot till you've met an Amiga zealot). By necessity, the big broadcast networks have some really heavy hitting hardware, there'd be no need or want to have a toaster to do anything.
I mean even little local stations have more. In highschool I vistited the local Flagstaff news channel. It is a pathetically small operation, that puts on a pathetic broadcast by any real standard. None the less, they have a full out video switcher/wiper/etc unit, about 20 tape decks, several editing workstations, and so on.
i've always wondered if al qaeda and hamas were using amigas for their suicide bomber / terrorist recruitment videos due to the production values.
then it occurs to me, what group of people is fanatical enough to blow themselves up because of some bearded maniac? Amigans! If Jay Miner told them to blow up an amiga in a s'barro, they would do it!
