No it is not a typo!
Any order for DiscreetFX software gets entered into a drawing to win a free SGI O2 system. This system was used to develop the Video Toaster [2], VT[3] & Amiga Video Toaster Flyer version of Spontaneous Combustion. This system includes video/audio in/out so it can be an input or output to the SX-8 on your VT[3]! More information about the SGI O2 can be found here.

This system sold for well over $5000 new and cost DiscreetFX almost $4000. Enjoy a piece of computer history and experience the fun excitement of having a real SGI in your studio. System has Irix 6.4 already installed and is ready to capture video/audio. System includes SCSI hard drive, RAM, CD-ROM drive, mouse, keyboard and everything needed to boot and run. You have to supply your own monitor but it will work with any modern PC monitor or HDTV.
Many open-source and freeware graphics tools exist for SGI

There is even a version of Photoshop, & Illustrator for it.
Pictures of the computer you can win will be on the DiscreetFX website in a few hours and the contest winner will be announced at the end of September. The winner of this system will get to enjoy a piece of DiscreetFX history and can even have the system signed by the DoscreetFX staff if they want. Please call if you have any questions.
Best regards

Amiga users use Video Toaster, how it turned to be alien technology for Amiga I don't know, besides if you go to the Amiga company you can see that the products you can buy are actually Amiga Software! :O Isn't that amazing?
> You go to ANN homepage, you only see "Free SGI system if you buy
> Discreet s/w". You have to click the read more link to find out it's
> not true.
The shock, the horror!!! You have to click on the link to know the complete history behind the title!! :O If I were you I would sue the 'bastards' to death and take all of their money for this misleading practice!!
For me it's derivated more from one of ann 'features', once the article is send it's set in stone (at least for the user who'd sent it), at least it wasn't made this way on amiga.org...
> I was not making a fuss, ANN is for discussion, I discussed!
You were making one discussion out of thin air... it's quite diferent
> You, on the other hand posted a 1 line flamebait with swearing.
Are we getting touchy here now!? |
