Reminds me of the technology-anonymous test in the Dilbert strip.

Dogbert is giving Dilbert the test to see if he is a technology addict.

Question 1: How many attachments does your toaster have?

Dilbert's answer: Are we counting the external hard drive and printer?

Dogbert: I think we can skip to the end.


Who would need a USB toaster?

I cannot fathom the amperage being sufficient for such a device via a computer?

Nothing sucks like electrolux, or how was it.
Regular USB port is 5 volts with 500 milliamps max current. That's a whole 2,5 watts of power. This toaster is worthless unless it has it's own power source.
