  1. Too dependent on specific hardware features, which meant the architecture could not evolve without breaking all the software.

  2. The Toaster really sparked a big wave of budget analog video production. However, by about five years after this, video was moving to digital, and the Amiga couldn’t really keep up. The Video Toaster Flyer was never quite as successful as the original Toaster.

  6.  @jameswebb5080  But the apps would not be compatible. Also consider that the Video Toaster, for example, only came in an NTSC version--it never was able to work with PAL. All down to hardware limitations of the Amiga architecture.

  7. 1:20 No it isn’t -- only if the copies are unauthorized. This kind of fudging of the truth is typical of all the “piracy” hysteria.

  8. @Knobcore Considering I said “hardware limitations”, not “software” ...

  9. And it was only NTSC analog video editing. It couldn’t cope with PAL, for example. And the digital transition pretty much left it behind.

  10. We’re talking analog Toasters, right? Not digital “Toaster Flyers” or such? Strictly NTSC-only.

  11. @Knobcore Precisely my point.

  12. 21:32 Gosh, the text is just as badly kerned as the series’ own, presumably “professionally done” titling.
