[Electronics-talk] Accessible Microwave?

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.

 They haven't had this microwave for at least five years.

 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.
