[Electronics-Talk] Looking For a good microwave

[Gerald Levy]

Just buy the least expensive touchpad microwave you can find and place a 
few tactile markers on important keys like the start, stop and 5 keys.  
Don't waste your money on the overpriced talking microwave sold by 
BlindMiceMart and Maxi-Aids, which is just a standard Magic Chef 1.1 
cubic foot model modified with speech output.  Keep in mind that this 
talking microwave does not have a display for the benefit of sighted 
users, so for $370, it is a big fat ripoff, when a standard Magic Chef 
microwave sells at Home Depot for under $80.
