Less than 12 Hours for a new Bounty to Toast all other bounty's

At first you rendered your statement wrong, it's nothing to do with Aladdin 4D. But then you were getting warmer.

Wow..  Interesting use of that word..
"rendered"..  Hmm..  That would make me wonder ...

And then he was getting warmer.. With the VT5 bit..
And with the recent OpenSourcing of some of that software...
So, a renderer with a VT relation that is 12 somehow?

Wish I knew more about that product line...

Funny, if you take the above complaints and replace "Video Toaster" with "Video Games" "VHS quality" for "90's quality graphics", you get things like:

"I don't know anyone who wants "Video Games" with 90's quality" graphics today."

And we know that's not true...

I know people who used the Video Toaster for fun, so it would make sense that it could still be fun to do..

Now, whether or not that market (people who want to use a VT for fun) is large enough to build up enough of a bounty is questionable...

But I don't see the harm in trying...

Of course, one of the great past times of this board seems to be telling people why they can't/shouldn't do something, so keep having fun there...  ;-)

Well, it would be nice if you would stop announcing more unrealistic projects before having finished this one, don't you think ?

Why?  Does it hurt you somehow when they do that??

It's funny..  I remember all the talk about reading an Amiga floppy on a PC..
Whenever someone would bring it up, the know-it-all's and wanna be know-it-all's would jump all over people about how it can't be done..
Never.. No way..  Just SEARCH, it's been covered..  STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.  Get real...

and then.. disk2fdi  
Hmm..

Just recently, I was chatting with the guy who created HxC floppy SD card for the ST and it supported Amiga, but read only.
I said I'd be more interested when it supported Amiga write capability.
A discussion ensued where it was explained to me, in no uncertain terms that it was unrealistic.  It's in the math..  It can't be done..  This is with the guy who made it..
I said, "I don't hold with "can't be done" very well."

And a few months later..  He announced write support for the Amiga.

And the funny thing is.. I would think Amiga owners out of all people would be more open to possibilities...


oh well..

There will be people who will claim that the "Amiga movement" is damaged by these pseudo-projects.  Money would be better spent elsewhere!!!

Probably..  I'm sure people were told money would have been better spent on things that weren't some fancy 68000 based computer back in 83 or so..

just like nobody uses analogue cameras to take pictures or processes sound using analogue tech.

Really, I still know people who use film cameras for "serious" (their word) photography.
And my local chain store (Fred Meyer's) still carries newly pressed records.
(Those things that look like really big black CDs??? :-)

Don't count out analog (or most things retro) quite yet...
