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

Subject: [access-uk] Poor quality of equipment?
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
