Don (Thanks Don!) sent a link for this model and it seems to fit my
requirements. It's 40% faster and a beefy 1200 watts. But I found a better
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.

Don't laugh. My wife & I just ecently bought an LG front loading washing
machine. We decided to pass on the top of the line modle with the
ethernet connection. It can be programmed to send you an email when the
laundry is done.

I'd rather have it fold and hang. Email is a gimmick.

And they'll all die with the first couple of power bumps,
just like my coffee maker, electronic phones, electronic fluorescent
ballasts (yeah, got the lot of them) and anything else that isn't tied
down. Fortunately, the dishwasher still lives, as does the propane
range, although the self-clean cycle tries real hard to melt the plastic
holding the expensive circuit board in place... /mark

Latest drivers? g

That's a deactivated item, Tawm, but $16.99 -would- have been a nice
price.

I did get one at that price, one of the last it seems. It's an "open box"
so it might have somebody's moldy old English muffins jammed in it. Yum!

It means that someone returned it because it didn't work. That's why I
never buy the last (and opened) box on the store shelf. Best of luck
on it, though. (Either with repair or ingymuff unjamming. If you're
lucky, the kid didn't put it back in to warm it with butter and jam
already oozing from it.)

I buy tens of $Ks from Newegg each year and try to get "open box" items.
I've never had a problem and the prices are great!

I guess that Newegg doesn't pull the crap that Wally World (or Homey's

Check contents carefully. Bought some deck screws the other day. Couldn't find phillips
head ones, just some modified torx type. I got near check out when I noticed the box had
been cut open. Yup, bit missing. Back to get another box.

Newegg seems solid as a supplier so far. Never burned me yet.

Maybe. I got it Friday, it was never plugged in. There was a small bit of

off all the lights in the kitchen and you can almost read in there with just

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

Jon

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

I butter my waffles, but sometimes spread sour cream and
