   Just *fantastic* promo for #VideoToaster from 1991.

   Very 1991. Irreverent, surreal, impossible to say what's parody and what's played straight. Extremely corny, extremely cool. You can really see how someone looked at this and went "ok, that's it, I can make a space station for my TV show with this thing!"

   Kiki Stockhammer, who was the spokesperson and hands-on demoed NewTek products at trade fairs and is featured everywhere in this demo, actually had a cameo in Babylon 5 later.

   I'm sincerely impressed that you could do so much with this thing out of the box, I had no idea.

     There's still one downstairs in an A3000 actually.
