[Electronics-Talk] microwave needed

[Pamela Dominguez]

Yes, I remember those articles.  Because of them, I usually steer clear of 
Maxi aids.  I didn't bring up the subject of the Monitor articles, because I 
didn't feel like hearing the NFB bashing.  And some of those people who do 
that are on here.  Pam.

Hello, if I may put in 2 cents; about MaxiAids:  a few years ago there
were articles in the Braille Monitor deploring that company for
unethical practices, so yes, good to steer clear; as far as microwaves,
better to get a microwave from Home Depot or a good appliance store and
get assistance labeling buttons that'll be used the most; here's where
PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY comes in; we learn that in the NFB.  Just my two
cents for what it's worth.
