Yes he was a video toaster user. Nice guy to boot. He was featured in toaster 4000 promo materials. Having met the guy whilst working on a project, he's actually a good guy and geneuninely enthusiastic about licensed product. It's not just PR hype. Got free passes to Boom Boom Huck Jam, great show.

He was a Video Toaster user, here's (http://www.shredordie.com/videos/10c11010a1/tony-hawk-ravers-1993-from-tony-hawk) a home video he made with a toaster, he also features in this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_K8vnx2ZDc) Newtek promotional video for the Toaster 4000.

@Crom00

I clicked the reply button before you made a post, it just goes to show how easy it is to get sidetracked when you're on the internet.
