- I'd have to see more on this. The only IBM and MAC use of the toaster has been
- to allow them to interface to a Toaster (Amiga) Workstation. You still had to
- buy an Amiga to do it. All the IBM and MAC did was control the Amiga. What a
- worthless idea. This was done for MAC and IBM happy people to be able to say
- my machine has a Toaster. The Taster was built around Commodore's custom
- chips. If you have mre inf on what Computer Chronicles said, please post it.

- Gateway however, advertises in every major PC magazine I have read, but I have
- also heard that Gateway is hurting. Sales are down big time. Commodore could
- do some advertising during programs such as Babylon 5. This would show Amiga
- in a way less game riented atmosphere. Commodore still has yet to overcome
- this stereotype. But they are doing WAY WAY better.
