[Electronics-talk] talking programmable thermostats

[Lauren Merryfield]

Hi,
I have an inaccessible thermostat at my apt. I wonder if there is a way to
get the apt management to allow me to have an accessible thermostat. How
would we know which kind to get and if it was compatible with installation
of the accessible thermostat?
Thanks
Lauren

Too bad. NFB should go after those inaccessible thermostats.

And Adobe Air continues to not be accessible.

In the past, Adobe Air was not accessible.  Sorry!
