"An ubiquitous appliance that performs well a clearly defined task...
easy and intuitive to operate, requiring little maintenance."

Toasterz.org's mission is to contribute to the movement of opensource software into the mainstream business world.

Many businesses are bewildered by the costs and complication associated with information technology.
