"OK, OK." It's a bigger box, and if you look inside there's an Amiga
motherboard. (or so I'm told)
At some COMDEX, NewTek won a "Best in Show" crystal trophy for the PS/2
version of the Toaster, which was a GUI I wrote in Visual BASIC
that sent ARexx commands over the serial port to a real (Amiga) Toaster
hidden under the table, but who's counting.
