I don't have one and probably won't be buying one. I do my kneading by
hand. I have been using sour dough starter lately for most of my bread.
Whole Meal and Herb primarily. I like the fresh baked taste and it really
isn't all that hard. I have started letting the dough rise before I
download a mail packet. Then I read mail while the dough does it's thing.
The sour dough newsgroup is fairly active, so some others are still doing
it the old fashioned way :-) Mind you, I wouldn't say no to a loaf baked
in a machine, will be experimenting with a friend's, but I don't have
money for kitchen gadgets right now, too many 'puter toys are needed for
bread to take priority.
