The faithful microwave I had didn’t quite survive to reach it’s 10th anniversary. I noticed a sizzling scent, and a case of the shakes and vibes. I didn’t hear anything odd, and knew I didn’t have metal in it. I figured Keith The Cabdriver could take a look. We tried boiling water, and, after a hint of sparks, smoke, flashing white light, and the potential big bang, he said this could be ugly, and took it to chain it up outside. Apparently even the inside dish wasn’t salvagable; rather charred and old. I think I’ll get a talking model, when finances are in order. I’d rather not modify and improv on a model with a flat touchscreen, by putting labels and marks on it. Besides, I no longer can hear the feedback beeps that confirm your entries when you press on things. Even a voice will be better than high pitched tones, and it will be a model with physical buttons. It’s unfortunate and a constant battle, when you see that most consumer products made today don’t have physical controls, but rather a menu, or other graphic type interface, with no
accessibility. It’s great when an occasional company makes the occasional model the small blind market niche can use in full. As the microwave left the building to get beamed up, a passerby casually said she felt compelled to go home, and would gladly call and pay to have a star named after it!! (laugh)
Wow!! A black and white TV with purple smoke!! When that occurred, it would have been a great opportunity to have been watching N B C at the moment. Remember back then how it was?? Before N B C shows started, they played a wonderful jingle with the announcement saying “The following is brought to you in living color!!”, with a great little tune. I really must find that one in a sound file to add to my jingle collection.
