[Blindtlk] OT Wedding Registry

[Gary Wunder]

Why is it that so many of my blind friends buy a talking bathroom scale and,
every time it talks, they tell it to shut up?

Household blindness specific things that I use include:
talking alarm clock
talking bathroom scale
talking caller ID, I have the Panasonic phone sold by ILA
braille measuring cups
and lots of labels or tactile indicators on regular appliances

I'd really like to own:
a talking microwave oven
a washer/dryer without 101,000 options accessed only through menus
and
a DVD player that is easily usable without a degree in rocket science

Of course I have and use other blindness gadgets, but I tried to think 
of things that are more oriented to household use rather than personal use.

HTH and congratulations!
Julie
