>> Hello everyone,
>>
>>    I guess Santa wasn't happy with us about something. One chunk of coal
>> we
>> found in our "Christmas stalking" was that our microwave decided to go
>> north
>> leaving us to cook the old fashion way until it can be replaced. We 
>> bought
>> the Hamilton Beach talking Microwave a few years ago when it came out
>> after
>> two other microwaves failed. We owned a Kenmore Microwave for quite a
>> while.
>> It only required the occasional Sears PMA to keep it in ship shape but it
>> too eventually gave up the ghost.
>>
>>    When we purchased the Hamm Beach it had to be special ordered as
>> Best-Buy did not keep it in stock and the other models they had were as
>> inaccessible as they come. Wanting to get some leads on accessible
>> microwaves I check the NFB'S Accessible Home Showcase for suggested
>> microwave ovens usable by a blind but only saw the Hamilton Beach Talking
>> Microwave listed. Independent Living Aids has carried a talking microwave
>> for quite a while but I didn't see it listed in our list of accessible
>> house-hold appliances. If anyone can tell me whether that particular
>> talking
>> microwave is still available from ILA or can put us on to other models
>> usable by a blind person we'll appreciate that very much.
>>
>>    Best wishes from Mary and myself for a merry Christmas and a wonderful
>> 2010.
