It did ship. I sold a few dozen, back in the mid-90's. It usually captured video onto a pair of 9gb Seagate Elite scsi drives. That would be 5.25" full height technology there.The Flyer worked, I know guys still using it. A little pricy, but way cheaper than an Avid.
Why, the moderm alternative would be Newtek's VT[3] (www.videotoaster.com).Well, not for editing, although it does edit, but especially for live studio switching, like the original Toaster.
Newtek is alive and well, just not in Topeka (yes, Topeka) any more.
> The company selling the product sets an artifical price limit. In order to be able to sell the product you have to sign a contract agreeing to the price point.
That's close, but MAP is actually "the minimum price to be used in advertising that the manufacturer helps to pay for". Not collusion exactly, but the idea is: if Apple helps pay for the companies ads, then Apple gets veto power over Apple product prices in those ads.
Apple doesn't require that dealers sell at a minimum price, but they make sure that those MAP funds are awful hard to pass up. So does Sony and Canon and everyone else in the biz.

I'll confirm that Max Headroom rumor for you. Because I had the issue of Amigaworld with that article.
All right. Fine. I mean to say "because I still have the issue of Amigaworld".What do you run now? Is there any viable alternative to QB2K?
Oops. I guess I meant $249, or $269, or some kind of rebate deal. Like Mr. Jobs says, who notices an extra $50?
>> who would buy 1/4 the capacity of a regular ipod for only $50 less?
>The person that was going to buy that 256 meg Rio doodad for $199, perhaps...
Are you talking about my $199 Rio Karma? Cause heck, I coulda sworn it had a 20gb drive, not the 256mb you mention.
Hardly news.

Zorro III actually. A real 32-bit expansion bus.
