[Electronics-Talk] not necessarily electronic, but...

I can't believe you had so much trouble on amazon. Then again it's hard to just read a text description and not really know what the product looks like:
Anyway about the Sharp Calculators. In the blind world they are in high demand and I've seen people pay up to 100 dollars for one. As far as I know they are very hard to find. Sharp
I know that's not much help but there you go!

Hello,

Since NFB doesn’t yet have a low-tech products listserv, thought I’d start here. First, does anyone still make a Sharp talking calculator—I loved the male voice, and it was really a quality piece of equipment; or, might it be available gently-used?

Now for the extremely-low-tech question: After having my inexpensive plastic set of canisters for 20 years, and finding that it leaves a bit of an off-smell to flour, I’ve decided it’s time to part with what I have, perhaps in favor of some kind of airtight metal canister set. My prerequisites: the biggest should comfortably hold a 5-pound bag of flour; the middle-sized, a 5-pound bag of sugar; and the next, a 100-count box of tea. I’d prefer airtight, and not cheap-quality, something I can either hide in the cupboard or stack on the kitchen counter. Wish I’d thought to ask about the metal canisters and taken down some info when I saw them at a rehab center. Any suggestions about these two items, greatly appreciated, since I literally spent 2 hour plus on Amazon without success. Thanks!
