[Electronics-Talk] microwave needed

[Lisa P. Geibel]

Hi,

Thanks to all of you for the feedback on the Braille micro from Maxi 
Aids. I really don't want5 to pay that much for one as it's almost 
double the cost of the talking one and don't think we will end up 
getting it. I love the talking one, but I don't know if it's large 
enough for our needs. We need a larger size if it can be found around 
here, so maybe we'll try another one that has to be labeled and hope for 
the best as it will be cheaper unless anyone knows if they make any 
talking ones that are large? Thanks.
