My church bought a Amiga 2000 and a Video Toaster because as a teenager they trusted me to get what they needed. It was there till 2004. :) I loved that machine.
Did the church actually have a use for that system?
Well, he was apparently a member of the church - so, yes! And it was probably bordered on lust in the classical sense (and, more accurately, in the modern one).
Yes they had a tv show on the local channel and we use it for adding to the video and credits.
We then were one of the first video projectors and we used that for the projector.
It sounds like you're saying their trust was misplaced?
We actually got a ton of use from it. We use to broadcast the Sunday morning service and it did all the graphics. Anything else would have cost $10,000 more.
