...and don't get me going on the extortionate PTR1, what an ugly over price
full of faults that thing has been, and sending it back for repair was a waste
of time, and cost a fortune in P&P -
I'll shut up now as this is off topic, and no doubt will get some telling me I
should be grateful for this shabby stuff

Can't help with the equipment but have to agree regarding this general topic,
I can never get a talking watch's battery replaced without the watch dieing in
no time, I even sent the last one back to rnib and I gotit back and was told
that the control cup was faulty, it sone of the radio controlled ones and now
the visual display displays one time and the voice says another, think there's
five minutes difference, the voice is correct though thankfully. I had three
calendar clocks from cobolt and all died within two or three years, my talking
microwave lasted about two years, my parrot the same.
You'll be thinking that I hanl=dle my things roughly but I don't, may be I'm
too careful, may be I should start slamming things against the wall a few times
LOL

Hello all,
This is not strictly computer related, but involves accessibility
equipment....
Does anyone know of a good quality talking tape measure; other than the
Cobalt one?
I have two of these, and a year is about the most I can get out of both
them, as they always end up giving spurious measurements- such as 2513 inches
when the tape is fully retracted.
Replacing the battery etc does no good.
Do we have to put up with inferior quality materials every time?
Regards,
A disgruntled Mike
