Interesting new article discussing Amiga Video Toaster on startup smart.


There is a myth that there is an inevitable path of technological  advance where new, superior technologies inevitably knock off their  older predecessors.  
 It’s a myth many tech tart-ups are prone to. Build a better mouse trap and they’ll sell by the truckload.
 
 Well, to any of you holding these myths to be self-evident, Old Taskmaster has just three words to say: Amiga Video Toaster.
 
 See, back in the day when people asked “Mac or PC”, (well, Mac or IBM  compatible as it was back then), there was a third option many opted  for: The Amiga.

As i understand things, Toster was never release for PAL (Europe). Why is that ? Since it was so popular in USA I am sure Europe would consume a lot of units too. Was Newtek too small at the time to setup a global network ?

Hopefully Heiroglyph can chime in and answer that question.
