A few years into those Amigas an outfit called Newtek came out with the video toaster. All this time there was nothing on the PC for video production. If I remember I got video toaster about 1990. They followed with the 9 gig drive for non-linear editing. Only about 70% of the drive space was fast enough for the video data in those years.

NewTek is still around, and still making PC-based production switchers/streamers. Instead of the Video Toaster, they're now called Tricaster.

And of course, NewTek hired "Booth Babe" Kiki Stockhammer to be their spokesperson at the NAB, and even had a wipe effect of her silhouette.
