Don (Thanks Don!) sent a link for this model and it seems to fit my

source than $46 + S&H. I'll have to download the latest drivers for it
though.

Glad to see you were joking about latest drivers. I had to look to make
sure you weren't serious about that. Never know when this will really
happen, and the only toasters on the market have LCD screens, network
jacks and cost $1000. I'm certainly no luddite, but I'm not ready for
computers in simple kitchen appliances.

The new toasters will have video cameras inside with a tilting,
rotating, display on the outside so you can check the doneness of your
toast. This will be much easier than bending down and looking through
a window.


Call me a Luddite. I either look through the window (I use a toaster
oven rather than a toaster) or just sniff or listen. Breakfast isn't
ready until the smoke alarm goes off.
