They are priced at under 13 bucks U.S. and they ship Articles for the Blind. They are listed differently on Ebay. They are located in Abbotsford British Columbia.

Re: [BlindHandyMan] Talking indoor/outdoor thermometer
I am glad someone mentioned the issue with the stupid thermometer announcing the damn temperature at inconvenient times of the morning. That is why I took a sledge to my last one of these devices. For 13 bucks, I might buy another one just to smash it. *GRIN* -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University. E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel:(412) 268-9081
