odin: yea I know...I was hoping in this paragraph it would mention Amiga..

"Newtek first gained prominence with its Video Toaster, a film editing and special effects studio. Jenison created the product in 1990 and it has changed the way TV shows and movies are made, making the industry more accessible to people on a budget."
