Who Makes Better Toasters?

If IBM made toasters... They would want one big toaster where people bring bread to be submitted for overnight
toasting. IBM would claim a worldwide market for five, maybe six toasters.

If Xerox made toasters... You could toast one sided or double sided. Successive slices would get lighter and
lighter. The toaster would jam your bread for you.

If Radio Shack made toasters... The staff would sell you a toaster, but not know anything about it. Or you could
buy all the parts to build your own toaster.

If University of Waterloo made toasters... They would immediately spin off a company called WatToast.

If ParcPlace made toasters... Their OO building block system would be called EGGO.

If Oracle made toasters... They'd claim their toaster was compatible with all brands and styles of bread, but
when you got it home you'd discover the Bagel Engine was still in development, the Croissant Extension was three
years away, and that indeed the whole appliance was just blowing smoke.

If Sun made toasters... The toast would burn often, but you could get a really good cuppa Java.

Does DEC still make toasters?... They made good toasters in the '80s, didn't they?

If Hewlett Packard made toasters... They would market the Reverse Polish Toaster, which takes in toast and gives
you regular bread.

If Tandem made toasters... You could make toast 24 hours a day, and if a piece got burned the toaster would
automatically toast you a new one.

If Thinking Machines made toasters... You would be able to toast 64,000 pieces of bread at the same time.

If Cray made toasters... They would cost $16 million but would be faster than any other single slice toaster in
the world.

If The Rand Corporation made toasters... It would be a large, perfectly smooth and seamless black cube. Every
morning there would be a piece of toast on top of it. Their service department would have an unlisted phone
number, and the blueprints for the box would be highly classified government documents. The X-Files would have
an episode about it.

If the NSA made toasters... Your toaster would have a secret trap door that only the NSA could access in case
they needed to get at your toast for reasons of national security.

If Sony made toasters... The ToastMan, which would be barely larger than the single piece of bread it is meant
to toast, can be conveniently attached to your belt.

If Timex made toasters... They would be cheap and small quartz crystal wrist toasters that take a licking and
keep on toasting.

If Fisher Price made toasters... "Baby's First Toaster" would have a hand crank that you turn to toast the bread
that pops up like a Jack in the box.

If the Franklin Mint made toasters... Every month, you would receive another lovely hand crafted piece of your
authentic hand crafted Civil War pewter toaster.

If CostCo made toasters... They'd be really cheap, as long as you bought a six pack of 'em.

If Microsoft made toasters... Every time you bought a loaf of bread, you would have to buy a toaster. You
wouldn't have to take the toaster, but you'd still have to pay for it anyway. Toaster'95 would weigh 15000
pounds (hence requiring a reinforced steel countertop), draw enough electricity to power a small city, take up
95% of the space in your kitchen, would claim to be the first toaster that lets you control how light or dark
you want your toast to be, and would secretly interrogate your other appliances to find out who made them.
Everyone would hate Microsoft toasters, but none the less would buy them since most of the good bread only works
with their toasters.

If Apple made toasters... It would do everything the Microsoft toaster does, but 5 years earlier.
