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?

It should last a whole 10 seconds when connected to the laptop battery

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