Toaster update!

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.

It says, 'OUT OF STOCK'.

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

well, I got mine! Not yet, but they charged my card.

Latest drivers?

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 Despot, etc.) does. That's good to hear.

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 you got the last one?

Maybe. I got it Friday, it was never plugged in. There was a small bit of damage on the box. I works GREAT! Toast in less than a minute! I turned off all the lights in the kitchen and you can almost read in there with just the glow from the toaster.

Erm, candlelit toastmaking, just you and the toaster in the dark?

Please seek (MORE) professional help, Tawm.

Maybe I need a sexual surrogate, I wonder if Kaiser will cover it and if she will be cute???

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. ERS

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. ;)

Some good warm syrup (Maple!) along with some pancakes or waffles to soak it up beats toast any day :)
