Why in the world would you need a screen on a toaster?
To run Doom
Figure out a way to burn frames of a Doom campaign onto sequential pieces of toast and then make a stop-motion of them.
To see the status of the software update
To allow an easy jumping off point into the rest of your network.
To run netBSD
How else can you check the volume?
Could see this if it had a camera inside and showed you the toast clearly as it was browning. Doesn't need an IP address for that though. Also why do ovens have windows but toasters don't? I always feel like I'm gambling picking a number and hoping my toast comes out right.
