Hi,
I have bought both rubbing and denatured alcohol. They both are
about the same price. Rubbing alcohol is inteneed for medical
and therapeutic use. It has quite a bit of water in it and other
chemicals. Denatured alcohol is about 99 percent alcohol and can
be used for cleaning electronics. Rubbing alcohol should never
ever be used for that purpose. Pharmacies (including those in
big stores) usually have both.

There's no reason not to use rubbing alcohol. The only reason I
can
think of not to use rubbing alcohol is that you may need it and
use it
all up for other purposes. Of course, if you have a ready and
cheap
supply of denatured alcohol, you should use it, assuming it's
cheaper
than your supply of rubbing alcohol. Rubbing alcohol is a
denatured
alcohol, and it's frequently used for more than just topical
applications simply because of it's ready availability. You
could also
use just plain old ethanol, but due to taxes, it's probably going
to be
a lot more expensive.

Thanks for the toothpick tip. I might need to do that. I don't
have
any denatured alcohol or Air.

One cool tip I got is to get a toothpick and go around keys that
are stuck.
That can get out the little bits of dust that build up and clog
the area
around the buttons. Then you can either vacuum or turn it
upside down to
get rid of the dust particles. FYI, it is also good to use on
faucet holes
too. Maybe this will help a little.

I don't know why everybody uses rubbing alcohol for everything.
If
anything, you would use denatured alcohol. Rubbing alcohol
should be used
for what it's meant for, for medical uses. Pam.

You are correct about the convenience of going to a store &
getting
apliences that talk. I found out yesterday that the Panasonic
phone I want
can be purchased at any Best Buiy. The cost they gave me was
$49.00. Now, I
just have to save enough money so that I can get that phone as
soon as I can
being that the California Free phone system for disabled
Califrnians just
don't work. One of the buttons on the phone stuck. I tried
some rubbing
alcohol as per an operator @ the California free phone program
suggested. It
really didn't work. Does anyone know what other thing I could
use to unstick
my phone & my computer keys, especially the spacebar.

So, I gather from this thread that only one microwave has
buttons on it
which is from panosonic which does not talk.
I would love a microwave with buttons too. Our GE one had to be
labeled with
dimo tape. I did not have a problem with the labels falling
off.
Only in recent years since its so old, did I have a few fall
off.
That's too bad the talking one sold at a regular retail store is
not
available anymore.
I always find it cool to find talking products at regular stores
such as
radio shack who had or has a talking watch.
This eliminates the need to buy from blindness vendors and wait
a while in
the mail for your stuff and pay for shipping of course. How
much more
convenient to get a ride to the store, buy it, and operate your
appliance or
whatever it is right away when you come home.

Yes, *had* is the important word here, as they no longer do.

hi
There is a Panasonic which has five preset buttons with a
touch pad. The
five buttons can do many things although they don't talk.
