[Electronics-Talk] Accessible Stove

[Tracy Carcione]

A couple years ago, we bought a GE stove that only has knobs, no annoying
menus of any kind.  Sorry, I can't find the model number in my notes.
We called GE customer service, and they had a list of accessible models. 
I think our local PC Richards had to order the model we wanted, so we had
to trust that it would be right, but it worked out well.
