Seven years ago, Tom Lacalamita's boss at Welbilt Appliance Inc.
in New York told him to try out a gadget the company was thinking of
selling. The gadget was a bread machine - something Lacalamita, who
had made bread at home for years, thought was a pretty stupid idea.
"I didn't see the purpose or the reason for it, and I resented
using a machine to make bread," the marketing manager recalls. But
he took it home for the weekend and made a loaf. "It wasn't that
bad, but I was still skeptical." So he made another loaf. And
another.
When he came to work on Monday, he told his boss he didn't want
to give the machine back.
