  Not really, since the MacToaster isn't a Mac toaster at all, but merely
an Amiga. Basically all he will be doing is writing a Mac GUI that
sends commands to the program running on the Ami/Toaster. So what if
he doesn't supply the Mac GUI? Who cares? I'm sure someone will, and
is Todd really such an awesome programmer? His skills may be much
more useful in making improvements to the Toaster interface rather than
coding it.
