John Romkey on Nostr: I still have the Internet Toaster... and it still works. The controller from the demo ...
I still have the Internet Toaster... and it still works. The controller from the demo back in 1990 is long gone (as is the parallel port that drove it) but it's easy to replicate today.
The toaster makes decent toast still but there's an alarming smell from the toaster itself that says "maybe not so much, I'm old".
I do trot the toaster out once in a while for some glamor shots around Portland. It's fond of brunch, coffee, and not surprisingly, bakeries.
