Wrote lots of Toaster and flyer code, (RenderFX, Promix Tools, Flyer Utilites, etc) parts of ImageFX,  copilot Audio and Video and several other programs I am forgetting about now.

Designed all those Amiga based poker machines that MGM used for their opening and that were shipped to La and the Indian reservations (about 5K of them at final count).  Wrote probably half the code and all the game logic and math.

Edited lots of video, and did lots of lightwave work for money.  Installed toasters in several TV stations, and used to teach lightwave to people.    

Last thing I did was open source the source code for Newtek's toaster and then includes all the source for my tools with it.  

I was going to port ImageFX to Amithlon but AI killing that program put the kabash on that.

First of all ImageFX would have to be completely redone for Aros and remember thats Kermit and the rest of Nova Designs product not mine.   Amithlon would have allowed me to port the original PPC modules which I turned into the x86 Aura plugins to x86 Amithlon modules and we would have had really fast plugins which constantly could have been added to as you convert the code from 68K to x86, since the 68K stuff would have ran under emulation and the x86 would have ran native, more and more could have been moved to x86 modules as part of a transition to x86, all while constantly being available.   The problem with an AROS port is that until its done, you cant sell it, because it doesnt work, with Amithlon, the x86 modules could have been sold as an addon to ImageFX, and then do 2.0 version of the modules etc as more and more of the code moved to the x86 base.
