Amigas were awesome back in the day.
$6k for an offline editing system nearly as capable as a quarter million dollar SGI supercomputer. (Storage extra.)
Put 20 of them together and your digital FX could rival the best Hollywood modelers. (With a bit of motion-blur to take care of the rough-edges.)
I so wanted a Video Toaster back in the early 90s. Commodore blew a huge opportunity by not joining with NewTek to release faster hardware and expand their dealer network. (In fact, Commodore ignored the Video Toaster, abused their resellers terribly and hurt the brand by trying to make boring office machines with no upgradable parts to tinker with. Apple should have learned a thing or two from Commodore's demise. There are limits to vertical marketing profit-taking and there's a point where dictating features without consideration of the user experience generates push-back from once-loyal consumers.)
